Pros

Was able to choose own hours then fill a rota in

Cons

This company carried out a mass firing. They then told everyone remaining that their jobs were safe. A week before my contract was going to end, I was told it would get renewed. On the day of expiration they tell me by email this is no longer true. Payments are delayed every single month and this was since the start. Managers cause continuous distress to employees. They pay minimum wage for extremely skilled jobs then just fire you after they use you. HR team never reply to you and they silence people that speak out.

The team I worked with was consistent and reliable. My supervisor was especially supportive.

Cons

It's an edtech startup, so everything changes quickly. New rules for writing and citations, SEO team updates, etc.
