What is it like working as an Office Manager?
September 2015
Office Manager:
Pros: Decent benefits, decent work environment, flexible hours.
Cons: No privacy; I have no door or walls, my desk is like a rotating door. I can't sit down for more than a couple minutes at a time before I need to go answer the door or am summoned by one of the engineers to check something for them. It makes it incredibly hard to focus and get much done in a streamlined and efficient manner. Other teams will dump inappropriate tasks on me because they assume I have nothing better to do with my time, and some even expect ridiculous things to be in my job description. Because the structure is informal, it means workplace politics aren't out in the open, they're shady and not always known, making it "clicky" and difficult to navigate.

Computer.
Office Manager:
Get as much secretarial science as you can. Computers were not available when I started out in 1972.
August 2015
The job is everything I expected, and more.
Office Manager:
Learn as much about the company, processes, procedures and people. Any questions about any responsibilities - ASK! Never be afraid to admit you don't know, but continually strive to learn and improve on a daily basis.

Office Manager.
Office Manager:
Pros: Working with people with different personalities. Learning all aspects of the business. The challenges that come with a growing company.
Cons: No real processes in place. Management not always understanding the importance of the people that work there. Direct manager not a fit. Support is hard to come by. No training, trial and error mentality.
August 2015
Wish I knew how unorganized it was.
Office Manager:
Pin down a job description and hold to it.
