Good work-life balance, but limited growth and low pay

Operations analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Great for work-life balance. I finish earlyish, generally around 5 and work remotely four days a week.

Cons

It will depend on your directorate, but in mine there aren't many learning and development opportunities. It feels like a dead end job. The salary is also poor, even by civil service standards. There is general lack of dynamism too
