Current Executive Assistant
Pros
They provide breakfast and lunches during busy season....that's about it.
Cons
Ridiculously high turnover rate; nothing feels "organized"; constantly back tracking and changing policies and programs; non competitive pay, below average benefits; some micro management; no "upwards" performance evaluations for management so employees have no voice; required attendance at culture meetings that A) do not apply to Admin Staff in most cases, and B) the majority of the information is left in the meetings, aside from management. When people aren't happy, you don't shove them in these mechanical meetings and preach a false "culture", or hound employees to do an "anonymous" survey via our computers. Really? Anonymous via your work computer, because surely they aren't tracking that! How affective is this nonsense? I've honestly never been a part of an organization where over 75% off the people at arms reach are actively searching for better opportunities. I've never seen anything like it.
