Pros
Office Control, Variable Roles Each Day, High Stress, Other Duties
Workers often scoff at the section on a job description that says, "other duties as assigned." While office managers do have specific duties, much of their role involves completing assignments delegated daily by company owners or executives. While flexible work is often valued, uncertainty of your role and responsibilities is frustrating for some. In a small operation, for example, you may get stuck shoveling snow or running errands.
Cons
Wearing Too Many Hats Can Make a Head Spin. Small businesses often need to keep payroll costs down to remain profitable, Promotion Can Strain Friendships, Hiring, Firing Can Be Painful.
