Pride
Executive Secretary or Administrative Assistant - (City withheld for privacy), Maine, United States
Every job you do for your employer is a reflection of you, no matter how small or menial the job may seem. Never give a bad reflection. Take pride in what you do and never give less than 100%. The work you do is also a reflection of the Company you work for. You may not like your employer but THEY PAY YOU. The better a company looks the more money they make, in turn, you have more to bargain with for better pay. They have the funds and you have helped them achieve that.

Executive Secretary or Administrative Assistant - (City withheld for privacy), Illinois, United States
I have been with this company for 16 years and three times I didn't get the promotion that was promised to me 10 years ago. Also, more work was added to my responsibilities and no substantial increase only $0.50/hr.
