Pros

I really love the responsibility as a membership service manager and feel like it co-insides with my university studies at the same time. It is constantly challenging me and builds up my skill set administratively and also personably. Overall the atmosphere is great and what the brand stands for relate to my personal life.

Cons

Being the only person in my team it can become challenging and for me to progress easier I must train a lot of the people in the building. I find it hard to find time to be able to deliver training for everyone and also meet all my deadlines.
