Being An Executive Assistant.
Executive Assistant:
Pros: What I like most about being an Executive Assistant are the perks of the job. It can be very rewarding and meaningful if you have a good working relationship with your supervisor. You will be exposed to various aspects of the business which can be applied for self development and growth.
Cons: Have someone depend on you to do follow ups, schedule appointments and literally make their life easier can be a very stressful task as errors can be costly.
October 2014
Salary Review.
Executive Assistant:
Pros: Seeing a project completed and appreciating the effort that was put in to make it a success.

September 2014
Freedom.
Executive Assistant:
Pros: Create own job description.
Cons: Run out of work.
September 2014
Executive Assistant:
Pros: Variety and being the most knowledgeable person in the department concerning a lot of work related issues and manage the department's finances.
Cons: Having to do the work of everyone else in the department because my colleagues are either lazy or incompetent. This including staying late and working through lunch while colleagues take lunch, go home early and are on Facebook while I am doing their work. All while earning less than anyone else in the department.
September 2014
Would Have Chosen The Real Estate Industry Earlier In My Career.
Executive Assistant:
You have to be two steps ahead of your boss and don't assume anything. Challenging job that changes by the minutes so you have to be organized.
September 2014
Different Titles For Same Work.
Executive Assistant:
