Receptionist Reviews
What is it like working as a Receptionist?
April 2015
Receptionist Position.
Receptionist:
Pros: My coworkers are rooting for me. I enjoy receiving a lot of responsibility and the opportunity to lead projects in our company. Although I am a receptionist, I have the opportunity to learn a lot more about the title and escrow business. They have also let me lead the integration project between our different software. This has made me even more valuable to the company. I enjoy using my degree to bring in new and consistent clients to our company.
Cons: I am not paid enough at my job. The receptionist duties only take up about 5% of my time during work. I spend more of my time on database management and spreadsheets for other people within the company. I am at the bottom of the totem pole. I do not like dealing with coffee management and getting people drinks, and it is not something that I want to do for the rest of my life.
April 2015
Authority.
Receptionist:
Pros: Doing things on my time, organizing the office, helping customers, and responsibility.

Very Stressful.
Receptionist:

March 2015
First Face of the Organisation.
Receptionist:
Pros: I like to communicate with people as being the first point of contact.
Cons: No saturdays off as there is holiday for teachers.
March 2015
Repetitive, multitasking, attention to detail.
Receptionist:
Pros: The people I work with are very positive and encouraging. The customers are tolerable and the work is fairly easy. I work Monday to Friday and my shifts don't change meaning I have a very stable schedule which I really like.
Cons: I don't feel I make enough. I don't like how even though I work Monday to Friday, I am 20 hours short every week of being full time. I hate sitting behind a desk all the time and when the dealership is not busy I have nothing to do and it makes me anxious.
