Pros

Flexible work which I thought would be great to top up my income.

Cons

Constant issues paying on time I'm currently owed £1200 for work I completed 2 months ago - Senior leaders ignore all emails from associates regarding payment - makes you feel undervalued and that the Directors are too important to ensure freelance staff are paid.

Pros

Work is flexible and parameters are clearly set.

Cons

I have had 2 pay checks paid and neither has been for the full amount invoiced. No communication from Finance as to why this has happened. They now ove me over £500 for work already completed and invoiced for between a month and 2 months ago. Nobody I have had contact with has been able to resolve this and it feels very deliberate now.
