Executive Assistant - Executive Assistant Protiviti Employee Review

If you are executive assistant forget about moving pass the level of coordinator. They have an EA career model that shows the levels where you can grow but you will never move past being a coordinator, they want us to do more but yet won’t acknowledge that some of us should be a specialist. The only high internal level is “lead EA” and they are still coordinators, not even a title of Senior Coordinator. The only way to advance if you move out of being an EA and move to operations and if you have a degree or if you are lucky and know someone in the right places, they will overlook the degree requirement to get promoted but then why include a career model which shows potential growth. It just reinforces that the EA group is not important to the firm.
