Micro managing boss.

I would tell them not to accept the job unless they enjoy being micro managed by a hovering boss.

November 2014
Office Manager, no fame, all guts.
Office Manager:
Pros: I really enjoy working with spread sheets, working to solve problems, and accomplish goals.
Cons: Frequently you have to "mind read" the other managers so that you can stay a step ahead of the game. You also have to play the role of several different managers.
November 2014
Don't Stifle Yourself By Starting In The Top Position!
Office Manager:
If you take the job closest to the owner/director, you have no opportunity for upward mobility. Keep your options unlimited.
November 2014
Office Manager Equals Office Mom.
Office Manager:
Balance the needs of the position (i.e., processing payroll, expenses, taxes, collections, invoicing, etc) with the needs of the office (i.e., overall mood, taking care of problems, being the go-to person). The needs of the office can become overwhelming if allowed to go unchecked, especially in a small office environment.
