What is it like working as an Administrative Assistant?
February 2015
Satisfying disgruntled customers.
Administrative Assistant:
Stay focus with your customers until satisfaction.
February 2015
Administrative Assistant:
Network out of your division and work overtime only when absolutely necessary. And don't use sick days over 8 a year. Strongly recommend you know your company policies before leaving the firm you are not given what entitled to, e.g. Forfeit vacation days, overtime if last time sheet not submitted and sick days if over 12 will be taken into consideration on severance. Also, your benefits are by title. Ensure your title is correct, eg administrative vs. Executive assistant. Administrative higher in heiarchy but not in pay. Also ensure your last day is noted as your last pay check not a date before or in between bi weekly check. Effects your tenure and pay scale and vacation allotment due to first quarter bonus pay out and benefits, you pay for benefits til end of month but if laid off before 15th. Only overed til last date and I don't recommend leaving job in February due to two days short in the month and march has 5 Fridays which you loose the extra hours when leaving since only.

Fairly easy work, great pay and benefits.
Administrative Assistant:
Pros: I love the atmosphere, the people I work with, the benefits, and the authority to purchase small office supplies as needed.
Cons: Sometimes there is not enough to do as a full-time employee.
February 2015
Workload varies greatly.
Administrative Assistant:
Pros: Pay can be good, especially at the government. Decent paid vacations time. Job security / stability is fairly high. You become the center of the team (aside from the manager). Most of the time you can manager your own priorities.
Cons: It can be stressful, deadlines can be incredibly short. The work atmosphere depends about 80% on your manager. If you have a good one, work will be very pleasant. If you have a bad one, coming to work will not be enjoyable.
Advice: If you like paperwork, this job is for you. There is always a lot of paperwork to do. HR, budget, transactions, travels, printing, scanning, emailing.
