Pros

The company offers a fast-paced environment with exposure to a wide range of responsibilities. Colleagues are generally capable, and the organization itself has strong potential. Self-directed employees can gain hands-on experience quickly due to the volume and variety of work.

Cons

There is limited career development and no clearly defined advancement path for Executive Assistants or similar support roles. Contributions from administrative and support staff are often overlooked, with minimal recognition in meetings or leadership discussions. Accountability is inconsistent, which can result in uneven workloads when performance issues are not addressed. Training and onboarding are effectively nonexistent; new hires are expected to perform immediately with little to no guidance on processes or expectations. The work environment is consistently high-pressure, leaving little time to absorb information, learn processes, or work sustainably. Most tasks are treated as urgent, creating a constant "fire drill" culture. Work-life balance is a significant challenge. The pace and expectations can contribute ongoing stress and anxiety rather than a manageable, supportive workflow. The return-to-office policy lacks consistency. While most employees are required to be in the office three days per week, some individuals remain fully remote without clear communication, leading to perceptions of inequity.

Pros

Direct manager is nice, PTO policy good

Cons

Pay is horrible, redundant development/goal setting multiple times a year, they chase away good employees but keep the horrible ones around until retirement, no accountability, promotions are a popularity contest and not based on actual quality and productivity scores, there is special treatment for employees related to higher ups
