    For me cons are pretty endless!

    Pros are I get to do PR which I really enjoy, and get to work with my BF which is hugely important!

    Cons are pretty much everything else!!!!

    Pros:

    Get on well with colleagues
    Don't have to sit anywhere near my boss
    Varied work (when I have work to do, not like right now!)
    Free and plentiful parking

    Other departments
    Not having much work right now...
    Useless head office who take 2 months to pay expenses (then get them wrong)

    It could be worse so I am grateful, especially at the moment!
