Office Manager Reviews
What is it like working as an Office Manager?
March 2015
It's hard enough without being stressful.
Office Manager:
Pros: I like the consistent hours and the regular paycheck. The fact that I know I have weekends off is reassuring.
Cons: It get repetitive and you start praying for 5 o'clock to get here as soon as possible.
March 2015
Need to be able to wear different hats and be a multi-tasker.
Office Manager:
Be prepared to give 110% and work alongside of your staff. Be willing to do the same job they are doing. Always keep your integrity, you want to be someone who is trusted.
March 2015
I only ask to be paid as much as I am valuable.
Office Manager:
Pros: I love most the experience I am gaining. With no real guidance of how my position should be, I have created the beginnings of the foundations for two of the three job descriptions in the company. Mine, the position of Office Manager and the position of the AV Installation Technician.
Cons: There is absolutely no foundation of guidelines. Each employee acts as a free agent who makes up their own rules along the way. I am creating a Policies and Procedures for our positions and hope to start on something real, legitimate and clear. Everyone feels they deserve more for the nature of the work that the technicians do. I personally feel like I deserve more because I have gotten the company to place where it has never been. You would be surprised to see this 20 year old idea exist as it does. No systems or any sort, no guidines to follow, just complete disarray.
