Former Executive Assistant in New York
Pros: - Good perks; like 1 week shut down during Christmas season
- Flex time for admin professionals
- Their brand is highly respected in the Finance industry
- Company is strong and growing.. one feels job security
Cons: - Assistants do not get promoted into other roles. Once you're an assistant, you pretty much stay there
- Low morale among assistants, but do not share it publicly
- Unrealistic performance and rating system.  Keeps people off getting decent raises or small bonuses.
- Partners can be insignificant to their admin support.  They create a high wall around them sending message of "I'm up here, you are down there". Lots of EAs feel that way.
- Support ratio (5:1) does not equate compensation. 
- Very hard to be friendly with people.  People can be very indifferent to establishing relationships.
- Too big. Too many layers..
