Pros

The potential to work with great people.

Cons

Base pay is awful. Many branch office administrators work two jobs. You will have all of the responsibilities of an office manager or senior executive assistant but will be paid as a receptionist. Some potential for bonuses but determined by branch profits and headquarters (too many unknowns to count on bonuses to pay bills). Raises are limited by headquarters and are very small. Learn as much as you can and get your resume to other firms.

Pros

They have allowed the HBA’s (home based associates) to remain remote

Cons

Micromanagers, they say they are okay if you want to apply to another department within the firm but the minute you do it’s like you get a target on your back. The pay doesn’t match the workload and the word is that you have to quit and then come back to make what you should already be getting paid. Benefits are terrible but 401k is pretty good
