I have been working at Department for Work And Pensions full-time (More than a year)
Pros
I love the constant human interaction and being able to help and support people each day.
Cons
Lack of progression, Minimal opportunities and when something comes up its normally only temporary and often given out to people closest to the people at the top and not those right for the roles can be very frustrating.
