Pros
Summer Fridays, great vacation perks. No guilt over taking vacation, sick days or being out for doctor appointments, lunch breaks or errand runs. Big company with a big list. Mostly employees are organized hard workers.
Cons
Low pay and no opportunity for advancement for assistants. Especially in staelite offices, it is better to work at head quarters. The company has merged so many times that there is bad blood between department heads and it trickles down to everyone. Strange politics, spite and purposefully not doing your work to screw up another department are not fun things to deal with on the job. HR is not accessible, you are on your own to make it work with a bad boss or quit. Systems are poorly set up and training is sparse. There is a culture of management blaming those below them for their poor work, there is no hope for promotions or valuing of talented employees in this kind of environment.
