Svantaggi
The pay is disappointingly low, especially for a role based in central London. There is also a lack of consistency and transparency when it comes to invoicing and payment timelines. I was initially told that payment would be made within five working days of submitting my invoice. However, after following up, I was informed the actual timeline was ten days. Despite this, my most recent invoice took nearly three weeks to be paid — and only after I chased multiple times and provided a detailed breakdown of my hours.
There seems to be little regard for the financial needs of staff who are working hard and relying on timely payments. The overall tone of communication was aloof and patronising, which made the experience even more frustrating. A more respectful and organised approach to staff payments would go a long way.
