I wouldn't call it "work". I was a moderator on a couple mid profile (<400,000 subs) subreddits until last year. The same team more or less ran the lot and all the subs were in a niche I really enjoyed.
For the most part, toolbox (r/toolbox) and RES were everything I needed. The redesigned modmail was a nice (but bright) update too.
In the end, I had my fun, a LOT of fun, but it started to grow boring.
I think what makes Reddit great is the small subs, especially now that defaults have been done away with, and the best / popular feeds are more commonplace.
The tools people talk about needing are truly for the massive, massive, subs like r/science, but I genuinely don't know how much longer those megasubs will continue to dominate for. Every change puts more eyeballs in the hands of mid size subs, and that's great.
I suppose my experience is not the same as those of megasubs, but hopefully my thoughts spark some interesting discussion, because I really do enjoy reddit.
