You can tell us about the unexpected downsides too if you want.

To be completely honestthe management part of my job was nominal at best. I was basically a desk jockey.
It was two years of my life spent in a shit job in a shit company with shit bosses. I actually cried on the day I got that job, because I knew at that moment I would be dooming myself to the kind of life I didn't want, but couldn't afford to turn down.
On the plus side, they taught me how to use Photoshop and Dreamweaver, let me use the company laptop on weekends, and .... well, no. That's the only upside. There wasn't anything else from those two years that I would like to remember. Certainly not the high-handed attitude of the managers (the real ones, not pretend ones like me); not the disdain of the other departments for our little team (which was basically keeping the company in business by bringing in that £2million from Europe); and not the oiks in overalls who treated you like a raving lesbian if you didn't want to suck them off in the workroom cupboard.
