StarStarStarStarStarRecommendsI worked at AQA full-time
Pros
An enjoyable working environment, with permanent members of staff and management always on hand to offer advice and support. It's great to know that you are contributing towards something worthwhile, which helps to create the positive and friendly atmosphere that AQA has.
Cons
Most contracts are temporary and, as staff are recruited as and when needed, some members of staff miss out on proper training.
