What is it like working as an Administrative Assistant?
February 2017
Lacking in Recognition as a Valuable Contributor.
Administrative Assistant in Nashville:
Pros: My role is very flexible with time, allowing for a great work/life balance. I am also in a very lucky position given my specific location and team structure in that I have the ability to network with various teams, managers and executives across different departments. This provides an excellent chance to take on additional projects and expand my skills beyond the scope of my title.
Cons: The culture of my team is one of in-fighting, harmful gossip and insincere relationships. It means I have to constantly be on guard against adding fuel to the fire or being dragged into the back-and-forth game of favoritism. I also struggle to have my contributions recognized, often getting asked what's the difference between my role and a secretary or why I am a member (or leader) of a project when my title ranks lower than others on the internal company band scale. Currently, I navigate these frustrations as the growth and learning opportunities available are worth the struggle for a little while longer. I am actively seeking other internal roles in the same geographical area while I further my education and project experience.
