Repetitive and boring

Underpaid and undervalued and management are never about to help. Customers vent their anger throughout your day due to nhs failures. Long waiting times and not sufficient staff numbers to deal with enquiries

It was ok to work for

It was ok to work for, I have been treated better I. Other workplaces but it was ok. Keep your head up and keep work life separate. Quite a toxic environment

Just dont

If your face fits then great but usually youll be left to do all the work whilst the 'clique' either sit on their phones or yell at you for not doing the job of 5 people fast enough. If you dont fit their group then you're out of luck and youll be made aware of that. Work yourself into the ground and do whatever is asked of you just for managers to lie and not even give you the time of day.

Challenging

I see no point in having HR if the people who then ask advice do their own thing. I was increasingly frustrated by managers with no HR qualifications doing what they thought was the right thing to do.Too many mavericks for my peace of mind.

It's ok

Depends on your job, has some issues but not surprising because it's the NHS, and doubt it is just related to scotland. Completely depends on where you work
