If you are offered the Administrative Assistant job at an Exel location, it may be one of the biggest mistake of your career. You will have the lowest pay (by quite a bit!) of any other salaried person and your actual job duties will not match your "role profile" in any way, shape or form. Your role profile is 1 page of secretarial work. This is NOT something you want to put on your resume. In reality, for your itty bitty salary, you will be responsible for ALL payroll, HR, hiring, orientation, employee concerns and issues, purchasing, account, end of month including customer invoices, AP, journal entries, debit/credit memos and fielding hostile communications from corporate.
And yes, with the exception of payroll, the corporate headquarters is just about the most unhelpful, hostile group of people I've ever dealt with. You will never be able to contact an individual person to answer a question or to get help-you are required to send an email to a general email address.
Exel also has an amazingly antiquated accounting/data reporting system that is NOT consolidated. They have 7 or 8 completely different software programs that feed into various other software programs so when you are doing this accounting, you can never tell when anything you put in will actually show up.
Save yourself from agony-you will not be respected in this position as it makes you look like a secretary when you are really an acting "controller".
