Senior Administrative  Assistant
Pros: Worked for company for 8 years until positions was eliminated  due to downsizing. The administrative staff was supportive of each other and worked very hard to support their partners and tax staff.  The administrative staff helped each other as a team.  One of the best things about that was very short weekly morning meetings for the administrative staff with the head of HR which helped the team to be more cohesive and informed of what was going on.  There were team building activities and meetings to build that team as well as educational opportunities for growth.  During times of the heavy "busy seasons" I worked in the tax processing area.  Chair massages were offerred at a discount during busy season.  Often dinner was catered in so that we could continue working throughout the evening to meet strict deadlines and get the returns printed and ready to send out for the tax preparers.    Ability to build strong relationships and friendships with other employees.
Cons: Very busy and stressful during busiest of tax seasons.
