Office Administrator Reviews
What is it like working as an Office Administrator?
July 2014
Mixed Review.
Office Administrator:
Pros: Mostly great people and culture as a whole.
Company has a great philosophy.
Cons: Training is mostly on the job.
A person must come with innate ability to organize themselves.
The work environment is as a whole determined by the Financial Adviser. Each office has only one Financial Adviser and one Branch Office Administrator. If the Financial Adviser is a good leader, the office tends to have a good vibe. If the Financial Adviser is immature, inexperienced, etc., the office suffers no matter how good the assistant is.
Compensation is low compared to the amount of work both Financial Adviser and Administrative Assistant must accomplish.

Points To Motivate And Encourage.
Office Administrator:
Do the best you can. Do not procrastinate. Do it now so you don't have to go back and do it all over again tomorrow or next week etc. Listen and learn. Be helpful. Be a team player. Be punctual and regular. Dress acceptably and neat. Assist wherever you can. Be pleasant and stop complaining about trivial issues. Be accurate. Check....check and recheck your work. Stay positive and if things doesn't go too well, maintain that there's always light at the end of the tunnel. Go the extra mile. Take ownership. Don't criticize but rather help to find solutions where there are problems as far as colleagues are concerned.
That's it!
