Pros

Big parking lot. Lots of summer activities on the campus such as: basketball & volleyball courts, soccer field, frisbee golf, and a lot of walking trails. Some friendly coworkers.

Cons

There is dysfunction from top to bottom, and executives treat their employees with little respect. There will be no professional growth for you as a PA or as another position unless you're willing to spend years being disrespected, bored, and poor. You'll be treated like dirt and won't ever get out of Admin because they can't hire any new staff. Mary has unrealistic expectations and will not listen to even her fellow executives if they suggest change. As long as she is in charge at OATI, it will remain the one of the WORST companies to work for in the state. Horrible communication skills. Awful management. No impact and boring work. No flexibility on time. You have to sign in at 8:05 or before or else you will have automated emails sent to the CEO. Felt like walking into a jail every morning. Raised health insurance costs after layoffs (which they sent mail notices after hours on a Friday). Micromanaging everywhere. Nepotism. The turnover rate is shocking, seemed like someone was leaving the company every week. Really nothing good to say about the actual work life at this company other than some of the people you work with.

Pros

Onboarding was exceptionally friendly from the moment I accepted the offer through my first day onsite. Great office culture — so many people took the time to welcome me. Positive first impression thanks to a team that genuinely cares about new employees.

Cons

No on‑site food options. Limited walking areas near the campus.

Pros

Only good Pro's are: - Good Pay - Great Benefits

Cons

1. Limited Training for New Employees: One of the most frequently repeated criticisms is insufficient onboarding and training. 2. Micromanagement: Strict monitoring of employee time, attendance, and workplace activities. Management is highly controlling. 3. Low Compensation: Low salaries, minimal raises, and limited bonuses are among the most common complaints across review platforms. 4. Limited Flexibility: There is little to no remote work options and strict attendance requirements. Difficulty balancing personal needs with workplace expectations. 5. Slow Career Advancement: Promotions and growth opportunities can be limited or slow. 6. Management and Culture Concerns: Poor communication, lack of employee support, resistance to change, favoritism, and management practices that some employees describe as unsupportive.
