Pros

Office location was somewhat convenient.

Cons

My calendar was scrutinized down to the second, with constant interruptions and corrections that made it impossible to focus. Every email had to be reviewed three times before being sent, no matter how basic. The pressure was intense, and any pushback was treated as insubordination. I felt like I was being policed, not supported.

Pros

There was only one problem person, everyone else was kind.

Cons

Disorganized: Too scatterbrained, I was trained with a proven structure to do daily tasks for the Executive Assistant position, but they deviated from that to a structure with no centralized database, and no real CRM. They have those things, so it strikes me odd that they would opt for methods that are more time consuming. Unable to work independently: If you are the type of person that works well with little instructions, this isn't the place for you. You will be hounded relentlessly and micromanaged. Multitasking overload: Starting a task and being redirected repeatedly made it difficult to complete anything efficiently. There's such a thing as multitasking in the most inefficient way possible. Don't quit your job to work here yet, they're not ready to relinquish control to employees and let them do the tasks in peace.
