Pros: colleagues, culture/mindset
Cons: sad stories
I temped at UNICEF as a part-time PA to the Chief Executive. It was very interesting and enjoyable, especially working with such lovely dedicated people.

It was hard to hear about the sad experiences of some families in Africa, but on the other hand felt great that our work was doing something good to help people.

Benevolant (Former Employee), Paris, A8 – August 18, 2012
Pros: we had free lunch and some other wonderful benefits.
Cons: worked for a lot of extra hours
A Typical day was a very busy one from examining the patients (physically and clinically), all through anesthetizing up to recovery and finally handing over to the ward nurse.
I have learnt to be very fast and careful while carrying out my job. The management is a very marvelous one while my co-workers are superb . The most hardest part of my job is – more... anesthetizing during long hours of surgery while the enjoyable part is waking the patient up after anesthesia. – less

data tyiste (Former Employee), Voorburg – January 6, 2013
Pros: gezellige club

In drukke tijd hard werken, in rustige tijd ruimte voor een praatje.
Veel collega's dus veel meningen.

In drukke periode met meer werk en hetzelfde tijdsbestek werk toch afkrijgen.
Wat andere mensen over hebben voor andere die het moeilijk hebben.
