I worked at University of Manchester part-time
Pros
The university is generally an exciting place to work. Lots of resources. Lots of opportunity for further training. The work can be very rewarding and interesting.
Cons
The HR process for applying and starting work can be very long. This can be problematic for very short fixed term posts, with fixed end dates.
