Pros

Pay was pretty decent, hours were flexible, good perks, like corporate gym membership, good pension scheme, working from home and/or office

Cons

Work very changeable, not really as advertised in job description but it was a new role so I suppose there were always going to be changes When I was there, not enough work to keep you busy, a lot of wasted time in my opinion
