Unlikely to be Promoted - Administrative Assistant Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center Employee Review

Pros

I worked at MSKCC for 5 years as an Administrative Assistant. Some of the people who I worked with were nice but not everyone. Nice location and area to go out for lunch and shopping. Leaving Sloan was a blessing - got a higher paying job elsewhere and then completed my master's degree and started a new career after that.

Cons

While I worked there, I finished my BA and went on dozens of interviews for higher positions, none of which I was ever accepted for, albeit qualified. Supervisors consistently asked for personal favors throughout my 5 year employment, i.e. getting their daily lunch, snacks, coffee, responding to personal calls, etc. Although I did everything that was expected and more, and had almost perfect attendance my first few years, it wasn't enough.

Pros

A lot of people to work with and a great amount of exposure to different in-house counsel areas. If you are proactive, there are plenty of people willing to try and meet with you and explain things, though their time is limited. If you can pick at their brains, the Attorneys of the smartest and most hard-working individuals you'll meet. They have some fun events and team-bonding,

Cons

Lack of diversity in interns, which make fit and experience difficult. Even upon meeting diverse staff and people, there always seems to be a barrier and front. Attorneys generally have little time to teach you, but they do their best. Compensation is lackluster, but benefits and events are fun. Sometimes work can lag, and you must be proactive in seeking it out for yourself.
