      Best company I've worked for

      Executive assistant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The benefits are amazing (free classes, healthcare, wellness programs, Center for Workplace development, excellent time off), the management/leadership is wonderful and people-focused, inclusivity is promoted, and you have a very healthy work/life balance (nobody really works past 5pm). Job duties are clear and well-defined.

      Cons

      A little too siloed. It's a little challenging to cross-train into different jobs.

      Lovely people to work with, great resources and benefits

      Little room for growth, no change in salary, negative work environment - Chances are you may work with toxic leads (doctors, professors, etc) that could impact the team or your environment potentially.
