Pros

Generally speaking an easy job, ideal for students and ability to work remotely from home.

Cons

Inflexible working hours, any 5/7 contracts where shift hours vary mean it’s hard to plan ahead and around personal life. Little career progression and professional development support.

Pros

Good fun doing classes and taking clients

Cons

Horrendous treatment from the company. You have to pay rent which costs more than your pay so in essence you pay £150 per month or you get fired
