A typical day at work consisted of processing new hire packages including, scheduling, acceptance letters, processing badge and security clearance, working with IT for technology profile creations. Creating, generating and processing all financial, sales, purchasing, expense and time sensitive and confidential reports for C-Level and SVP executive teams. Maintaining and scheduling all flight, car, hotel, internal and external team and leadership meetings, including video, tele-conference, meeting and catering spaces across both domestic and international time zones. Organizing and maintaining heavy outlook calendar management for senior level executives daily, as well as forward planning on a weekly, monthly and yearly basis, as well as managing all distribution and contact list in outlook. Additionally, updated and distributed organizational charts.

The most enjoyable part of my job was communicating with co-workers and other executive assistants on the daily tasks and getting things done while having fun doing so in work environment which offered a diversity of assignments on a daily basis. The position was not mundane and repetitive in nature, each day had something new to offer and learn.

1. A typical day usually centers around responding to e-mails from stakeholders, coordinating logistics for programs and having meetings to post the teams with updates. 
2. Attention to detail, multitasking assignments, thinking on your feet and efficiently communicating with the team are things I've learned.  
3. There is a culture of meritocracy which is enforced by management.
4. Execution to high volumes of requests, assignments and tasks in regards to the high expectations in everything that you produce. 
5. Seeing all of your hard work come into fruition surrounding large scale programs and the appreciative feedback from the population.

There are a few nice, friendly people, but the majority of employees are snarky, backstabbing, gossipy drama queens. They are very "cliquey" and act like a bunch of mean cheerleaders. They love nothing more than to get people in trouble. Management is aware but does nothing about it. The pay is terrible, and the benefits are laughable. They also neglect to mention during the interview that there are frequent layoffs and there is no paid time off for the "talent", as they call us, even for holidays (management gets paid). I've worked some awful jobs in my life, but this has to be one of the worst. I'm hoping I won't have to be there much longer.

Very unorganized with poor communication between the administrators at Advatage and the staff at Goldman. Monotonous busy work where you you need to constantly go to other co-workers to find work, which most of the time they do not have. This in turn leads to waiting around for hours for people to get you work to do, following a constant cycle of trying to find work, then being judged for not doing any that you do not have to do. I did learn from this that these contract to hire jobs are not always what they seem and to beware of them. Very toxic place that I do not recommend at all.

I was with my mom who has happened to work there for awhile and was one of the best employees in the building.
Was let go because I missed to much work because I couldn’t find childcare for my children who were both babies at the time. Overall I loved working there, I would have continued to work there if I were have been givin the chance to. The atmosphere was always so uplifting and everyone got along and it was like one big happy family. I loved lessening new things and getting to also be hands on and learn how to build things. 

Typical day is getting dressed for your position lab coat, mask, gloves, hair net. Either you are on a project handmaking or folding diapers.I learned how to disassemble a depend and change out the pad. Managers dont control the workers since they are all friends the only ones controlled are new employees coming in. The y dont care aless about the employees and micro manage too much. You cant trust them with confidential stuff and the enviroment there is gossipy n negative. Hardest part of the job is remembering all the rules.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Great company that cares about you and works hard to make things right for you! 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
As a substitute teacher, classes with disrespectful students is particularly stressful.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Substitute teaching is great at good schools that value learning and discipline. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
As a substitute teacher, I gave students the assignment and they typically complete them individually.

No paid time off-they’ll tell you that they offer PTO which most people take to mean paid time off but here it means Personal Time Off(unpaid). Don’t even get me started on the blatant favoritism and how the rules only apply to certain people. There’s a lot of people watching and waiting for you to make a mistake and point it out, but no one seems to care when you do a good job. Unsupportive management and very cliquey

The team I worked on was very confrontational and we did not get along well. The team management was extremely demeaning and demoralizing. When you needed to have every email read and critiqued, you never felt like there was any trust in your work. My work style was constantly criticized and up for debate. I was put onto a performance improvement plan and eventually let go. This was the ultimate relief that I needed to move forward with my professional life. I won't look back and do not recommend working here. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Easy work. Sitting most of the time. Music the whole time. In a different group every week. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Frequent lay offs. People can be gossipy. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Inspect product, quality control, hand pack product for shipping. Hand modify product for human testing. Very easy work. Every week a little different.
