Pros

Decent pay pales comparted to experience.

Cons

Job is fake, value added is questionable and you only move up if you can make friends within the company. Its a stupid model that works if youre great at making friends and can worm more than 12 hours non-stop at the highest level of speed and quality you will probably thrive but be honest to yourself.

Pros

Good health insurance which helps when you need it but is also a golden handcuff with no other pros there.

Cons

The sanest days are mad Why don't you find out for yourself Then you'll see the price Very closely Some men there They have a special interest In your career They wanna help you to grow And then syphon all your dough Why don't you find out for yourself Then you'll see the glass Hidden in the grass You'll never believe me, so Why don't you find out for yourself Sick down to my heart That's just the way it goes Some men there They know the full extent of Your distress They kneel and pray And they say: "Long may it last!" Why don't you find out for yourself Then you'll see the glass Hidden in the grass Bad scenes come and go For which you must allow Sick down to my heart But that's just the way it goes. Don't rake up my mistakes I know exactly what they are And.... what do they do? Well.... they just SIT THERE I've been stabbed in the back So many many times I don't have any skin But that's just the way it goes

Executive Assistant

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Autonomy over much of your work, support from peers and managers, excellent benefits.

Cons

The company is so efficiently run that there are few opportunities to work outside of your job description. Some benefits extended to consulting staff do not extend to the administrative team (working from home, etc). Very little opportunity to advance beyond the role of executive assistant.
