Pros

The company offers a fast-paced environment with exposure to a wide range of responsibilities. Colleagues are generally capable, and the organization itself has strong potential. Self-directed employees can gain hands-on experience quickly due to the volume and variety of work.

Cons

There is limited career development and no clearly defined advancement path for Executive Assistants or similar support roles. Contributions from administrative and support staff are often overlooked, with minimal recognition in meetings or leadership discussions. Accountability is inconsistent, which can result in uneven workloads when performance issues are not addressed. Training and onboarding are effectively nonexistent; new hires are expected to perform immediately with little to no guidance on processes or expectations. The work environment is consistently high-pressure, leaving little time to absorb information, learn processes, or work sustainably. Most tasks are treated as urgent, creating a constant "fire drill" culture. Work-life balance is a significant challenge. The pace and expectations can contribute ongoing stress and anxiety rather than a manageable, supportive workflow. The return-to-office policy lacks consistency. While most employees are required to be in the office three days per week, some individuals remain fully remote without clear communication, leading to perceptions of inequity.

Pros

Some good things include work from home being available if you’re too far to commute to an office. There is a good 401K match. You don’t have to work holidays.

Cons

The cons… I have worked metrics driven positions, but this feels too intense. I don’t like the “big brother” feeling of always being watched. Even if you’re in a ready status and waiting for calls, if you’re not moving your mouse, you’re considered idle and that hurts your metric. The sick/PTO buckets took a little getting used to. I didn’t realize using my sick time also took hours from my PTO. I’ve been used to those being separate things. I also hated feeling “new” to the job. You would learn something one way, but then be told to do the process another way only to be told later that you’re supposed to do it a different way. It became hard to feel confident in my job.
