The Orlando Executive Assistant job description is misleading and should be reworded as Maintenance Person/Office Assistant in order to find the right person. There is no collaboration, calendar management, meetings, report generating or client greeting…you will be expected to clean the refrigerator, dishwasher, pantry cabinets, carry heavy boxes, and clean up after adults; when they show up. The office is supposed to be a hybrid office of 68 but, an average of 6 people show up.  Unless something changes -the unfortunate person that is hired for this position will be micromanaged and treated poorly.  When you are treated poorly there is zero accountability but, make a mistake and you will pay dearly.  

Advice to Protiviti: start making management accountable for their bad behavior and adhere to some sort of code of conduct.  Investigate why the Executive Assistants are resigning with their first year.  In 2024, six (6) Executive Assistants quit.

Like any career it is what you make of it so if you don't take the time to get to know the people in the firm and continuously seek out opportunities to challenge yourself you will never grow. I feel a lot of people look to their company to continue to spoon feed them but you need to be self sufficient and seek out opportunities your company has to offer include new ways to learn, innovate, and expand your network. Protiviti has incredible resources to learn and grow, it is just a matter of understanding those resources and using them to better yourself. There is a strong sense of collaboration and genuine care for one another in the firm. The flexibility is second to none and programs like the sabbatical program are a great opportunity to take some time off work, try something new and come back knowing you still have a job. I couldn't have imagined starting my career at a better company.

I started with Protiviti straight out of school and am glad I got the opportunity to work here.

The type of projects you'll work on depends on your location, but for the most part you can expect to perform audit work to some degree.  There's a good mix of large and smaller clients and you'll get some good exposure to executives during in-person meetings as well as conference calls.

All of the people who work at Protiviti are very friendly and easy to talk to, but unfortunately leadership varies by project due to working with different managers.  This is an area where Protiviti can improve on, because some of the managers can really be hit or miss.  I feel that Protiviti leadership should focus on teaching managers to manage down, as well as up, to continue to grow Consultants and Sr. Consultants.

I joined and was immediately thrown into a project six months behind requiring 80 hour work weeks. No pat on the back when successfully completed on time and under the budget. It wasn't just on my part that the project was successful. It required individuals to spend week after week away from their family to accomplish it. Five of the people on the project have left in the past six months. At the end of it all, we were taken out to a sports event, which was really just another way to rub shoulders with the client. Lack of initiative to obtain new contracts because senior management relied heavily on the previous engagements that did not always come to fruition. I have friends that work in other offices; I believe this may have been localized to the office that I was employed in.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Working here has been a really great experience. Expectations are clear, and when you put in the effort, it’s noticed and appreciated. What I value most is the focus on people -- everyone genuinely cares about creating a place where employees feel supported. There are real opportunities to grow and make an impact, and you’re trusted to take ownership of your work while having the support you need to do it well.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Change management is still a work in progress. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
People are great -- they care, they help one another. There are a lot of opportunities to get involved, but not pressure to do so. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A lot of collaboration and strategy work.

My first job out of college. Little to no real explanation of the job duties and pretty useless training. First 2 weeks or so are training that is mostly theoretical and does not apply to technical skills needed for the analyst role. Management is pushy and unprofessional, everyone at this job is straight up miserable. The workload also makes no sense. There is a daily quota which keeps getting raised along with almost daily changes to job duties and processes making it impossible to consistently maintain the quota. Management gets instructions from the clients and then provides no trainings on how to efficiently apply these changes but instead reiterates that the quota should still be met and that changes must be applied same day. Overall the job is easy but mentally draining and there are no real benefits. 

Hr Backs management, most issues caused by rude or micromanaging Management so even making complaints won’t get your management switched or issues addressed. They look for weird requirements on the job that are made up as they go. All is made up as they go. Long hours, they look down on going to bathroom and any engagement you may have like appointments etc. you would have to be a person locked in their room 24/7 to enjoy this job. They treat normal employees like trash.  They want you kiss up to them, as all Supervisors do w each other. You do get benefits such as taking extra breaks only if you kiss up to supervisor, if not you dont. Lots of micromanaging in weird ways, mommy daddy style but worse… to Adults 😒  ALOTTTTT OF WASTED TIME, ALOTTTTT. 

The work you will do at Protiviti is similar to the work the parent company, Robert Half does. It is called "staff augmentation" which is essentially back filling for vacancies or short term staffing needs at companies. The vast majority of the work is internal audit staff work, compliance testing work, BSA ALM alert clearing and KYC work, and similar. By nature, the work is quite basic and transactional, very mundane, and results in very boring days. You will also stay on these roles for literally years without any opportunity to switch to anything else. If you are looking for a consulting role that you can use your education and experience on, and that provides you with skills and experience for a good future career, I would consider another firm instead of Protiviti. I regret my decision joining Protiviti.

Protiviti provides a challenging environment for professionals looking to travel and work hard. The travel was really exciting at first but got old after my first year. There is also so much effort put into performance reviews but in the end, they are really just a formality. Promotions are based on the basis that managers like you, not very managers dislike you, and you provide efficient and relatively quality work. Unfortunately, if you strive for excellence in timeliness and quality, you will be swallowed by an onslaught of work. The attitude of the company is very positive with a lot of growth and exciting changes. If your looking for a fast-paced life of adventure work here for a few years!
