Employees value the opportunity to gain extensive clinical experience and develop a variety of nursing skills at Gleneagles Hospitals. Colleagues are supportive and friendly, creating a collaborative and team-oriented atmosphere. Staff also appreciate the medical benefits provided, including free treatments, and many note the friendly working environment with good relationships between team members.
However, there are some potential challenges to consider. Workload can be heavy, with understaffing issues in some areas leading to long shifts, particularly in ward and ICU settings where staff may work 14-17 hours. Some employees feel that salary and benefits may not always reflect the workload, with increments below inflation rates. Career progression opportunities may be limited, and some staff have expressed concerns about management support, feeling that there is more focus on revenue than staff welfare. Additionally, work-life balance can be challenging in certain roles due to long hours and difficulty taking annual leave.
