Pros

I was lucky enough to work in an office where my other team members were fantastic, so in that sense, everyday at work was a great day because I worked alongside people I loved. The job itself is very rewarding and so diverse that no day is the same

Cons

Higher management lacked organisational skills and because of this, often processes were all over the place and not well thought through. The targets can be a little demanding, but depending on your location, not impossible.

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.
