Pros

I worked at Oaktree for 2 years and it was a wonderful experience. It’s a great company and I enjoyed the people there. I loved the focus on philanthropy and all of the events. Oaktree takes great care of their employees and have worked to build a really strong culture that is rare in organizations today. I also liked the work they were doing to increase diversity and inclusion!

Cons

I found that there were few growth opportunities for administrative assistants. If you aren’t a career assistant then you may feel limited in opportunities over time. Other than that, I have no complaints and only good things to say. I would have stayed if there were clearer steps for growth with more entry level administrative roles.
