What is it like working as a Human Resources (HR) Administrator?

October 2015
Human Resources (HR) Administrator:
Pros: I love working with employees and volunteers and being a resource to them in an industry that truly helps people in a unique and necessary way. I thrive in generating initiatives for improving the workplace, solving problems, streamlining processes and systems and overall growth. I really enjoy the recruitment and hiring process, including employee on-boarding and training.
Cons: The hardest and often most distasteful part is having to fire people. It's never easy and can be extremely stressful even when done for the right reasons. In a small agency, you know everyone and it weighs heavily. My main dissatisfaction though is having my time overrun with helping other non-HR departments and having to set aside important HR projects or delay new initiatives because of needing to help with tedious administrative tasks because we don't have enough people to delegate to. Having too big of a workload and not enough relief is overwhelming and makes it hard to focus.
September 2015

Human Resources (HR) Administrator:
Ask the difficult questions. Know what you are walking into.
