I've worked in a lot of operational roles for various multinationals and have taken on QA jobs as part of a role (eg Site manager / General Manager).
Broadly, the job is not exciting (if you're looking for that sort of thing), but it will give you an insight into how a company operates. Experience received depends on the size of the company, you might be working on a local / regional / global QA level.
For example, the job can involve the following:
Maintaining current standards
Putting in controls and sustaining the resulting processes
Procedurising new legistlation
Auditing systems
Liasing with external auditors
A lot of these roles now have a safety function (particularly in industry) as procedurising reporting and feeding back indicators to the business drives quality.
Also, look on some of the Multinational Company websites and conduct a search on quality.

I did it back in the days when it was BS5750, just been on a refresher course for auditing as I've been asked to be an auditor where I am now.
If you're a highly procedural busy body you'll love it, otherwise it's a bit of a bore.

I work with it, its my job
it depends on what you want out of it, its not just about running a qms, its about ensuring that the sum of all parts within the organisation complies with satisfys the needs of the standard...
And integrating H&S is a cop out you dont get paid any more,
salarywise..... depends on what company and what area, get it right and its a good wodge, get it very right, and its a very good wodge.

I currently work for a Quality Assurance company and we certified companies to ISO 9001, 14001, 27001, 18001 etc. Half of my job is looking after our IT system and the other part is making sure the work which comes in from our Assessors meets the requirements of the relevant Standard. I've been there for 10 years and just feel I need to move on to another company, but thought about still working with the above Standards.
Don't really know what I want to be honest lol
