Pros

1) Flexible Working. 2) Great Location.

Cons

1) Tedious and soulless colleagues. 2) Line Managers - the worst Line Manager I have ever had the misfortunate of working under unfortunately was at UCL (in SLMS). 3) If you are BAME and especially a BAME male prepare for isolation and indirect racism. 4) Favouritism in the workplace is rampant. 5) If you're not a brown-noser this isn't the place for you, you won't go anywhere here 6) Workplace full of soulless pen pushing beaurocrats. 7) Overworked and underpaid. 8) You will likely be quickly regretting your decision to take on admin role (specifically teaching administrator role). 9) Have to jump through hoops to get simple things done as it needs approvals from a hundred different middle persons. 10) Rotten soul destroying workplace environment - just no fun at all coming into office every morning.
