Business Support Specialist
Pros: They will occasionally buy lunch for us and take us to team-building off-sites. I learned a lot of skills here.
Cons: No real room for growth. Too many lazy co-workers. Micro-management here is annoying. No joke - meetings about meetings within other meetings. If you need to blow your nose you'd better be on your break. Lots of busy work and wasted time running unnecessary reports. Great health benefits but an insulting salary considering all the trivial extra work and added stress. A lot of people keep quitting for that reason. I'm not sure my manager even knows what we do; all of her work gets trickled down to us while she texts on her cell phone and sends the same email over and over without bothering to really read the previous ones. She awkwardly struggles to connect with the team and has zero concept of us being busy and unable to get to things. A new responsibility gets added to this job every day with no substantial raise or accolades. Only place I know where you can get an award for going above and beyond and then, come raise time, are told you merely did what's expected of you.
