Pros

The job itself would be one I would recommend for someone while going to school or as a tempary job. Not for anyone who has any serious education and experience in the administration field. Your mornings are very busy being the office gopher, sorting tickets and orders, making coffee, filling up candy bowls, ordering supply’s from Staples, filling up the copiers etc. After 12:00pm there is tons of idle time. You are basically sitting at the desk waiting until it is time to leave; unless someone randomly asks you for help sorting or alphabetizing something... I would also like to mention 90% of calls received at the desk are telemarketers or spam. This company is financially successful however you wouldn’t know it by it’s dated office equipment, office location/condition and small budget for employee morale events, office supplies and copiers. There is a “good ol” boy” vibe whether it be in the office or out in the yard. However it doesn’t really affect this position. If you are looking for a job where you can come in for 8 hours each day and collect a paycheck with no education required this would be a great fit for you. Don’t expect anything else.

Cons

Office area in poor condition, antiquated systems used, no room for growth in this position
