Not an Employee-Minded Company

Sr. executive assistant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

on-site gym; competitive benefits (health, vision, dental); 401(k); discounted access to Chicago-area attractions.

Cons

The employee is the last to be considered in anything. Depending on your level in the company, little to no advancement opportunities. The Executive Assistant role is de-valued, not considered essential, required to support multiple VP's, company views this role as someone who does calendaring, travel, expenses-nothing more, not someone who generates value. When the CEO shares an Assistant with the CHRO it sends a very clear message to the rest of the administrative staff.

If there was leadership...

Pros

4 weeks PTO (also used as sick days which isn't great). 4 day work weeks for shift workers. They pay isn't bad

Cons

There is a culture of not communicating anything. There is no leadership. They regularly report data with error codes. It could be a great place to work if intelligence, diligence, and a belief in setting others up for success were the standard. Unfortunately, the turnover will continue.
