Pros

Great flexibility and support offered. Lots of experienced and committed people. Very friendly irrespective of seniority.

Cons

Restructuring causing issues, some people get away with not doing their job. Changes to processes happen too often creating a larger workload than is necessary.

Pros

Flexible working hours (day, evening and nights) and decent rates of pay. Plenty of breaks allowed and a friendly working environment. Management quite relaxed.

Cons

Repetitive work, and quite often problems with IT as they don't seem to be equipped to handle the sheer amount of student responses to be marked. Little margin for error.
