Be Careful What You Wish For
Pros: Once you understand what you're doing and aren't being dragged in several different directions the work can be okay.
Cons: You're expected to know more than is reasonable and high demands are made on you without regard to if it's deliverable or not. Communication is terrible, you are either bombarded with emails and IM's or ignored. My direct superior is either unavailable or only talks to me when there was a problem and was very confrontational about it. You are expected to try and figure things out yourself but when you get it wrong you get dragged over hot coals. I feel very alone in this job and I think COVID is only partly to blame. In order to stay on top of your workload you have to put in an inordinate amount of overtime for which you only get reimbursed holiday hours if approved by a partner during set periods, the rest of the time it's completely off the books.
