    Quick and flexible. Easy to accomodate work.
    The good thingsVery flexible - get paid based on hours worked. No stress or deadline - there is a still a performance target to be met but pretty easy.
    The challengesNothing much really, but I think there could have been more interactions between employees or managers etc.
