Pros

Flexible working around your hours for if you need some very quick cash. Can use this job as a stepping stool into other jobs within the live events or film industry.

Cons

Strong use of manipulation. Contract and employment law is not followed despite constant reminders and meetings to do so. They will shout at you down the phone and in the office if you do not follow everything they say or question anything. Despite being freelance will fire you if you try to work for anyone else, trying to trap you in their system for as long as possible, despite the contract not saying you cannot do so. STAY AWAY FROM THIS JOB AS IT IS WORKING THROUGH ILLEGAL WORK PRACTICES. I shall be leaving very soon

Pros

Flexible working, workin on weekends or evenings

Cons

Really bad treatment from the office Last minute changes with no update Unkept commitments Unprofessional crew members Low standards of work No actual training or vetting of competence and capabilities Personal Protection and Safety items must be purchased and no ear or eye protection equipment available at all. Inconsistent hours and unreliable level of work Demanding full exclusivity on a zero hour contract with very little work offered. Expected to work really unsocial hours and unreasonable durations Main Co-ordinator in the office is rude, illeterate and a narcissist.
