Pros

Most front-line staff are good to work with. There is great pleasure in work that isn't designed to make someone else a profit.

Cons

CEO, board and management operate completely on private sector logic. Too much money spent on agency which could be used to build permanent careers and strengthen the service. Management is extremely difficult to work with. There is an endemic of 40-60% of of branch managers and above being off with "Stress" at any given time. Usually for up to six months.
