Pros
There are no Pros to this position. If you consider being stagnant in the same position for the rest of your life a Pro, then there you have it.
Cons
Beware. This position is not what you think. I was led to believe this was an Assistant Buyer position but it turned out to be an Administrative Assistant. I was an Administrative Assistant to a "Buyer" that had 0 buying experience and had NO CLUE what he was doing. Basically, you answered the phone for your buyer, scheduled their meetings, and entered information into the system. There is no room for growth nor do they let you make any decisions whatsoever. I would not recommend this position to anyone. I felt very dumbed down and very looked down upon even though I had way more experience than the buyer I was supporting. This is NOT a good company to work for.
