Pros
No micro management Handled Covid 19 extremely well Great people Make your role your own, get involved with some really exciting stuff! Free coffee and subsidised canteen (pre Covid) Really nice new office layout Work phones for all grades/levels Agile working policy Team social/away days
Cons
Salary - for this role, it is below market average and does not increase over the years (lucky if you get £500 a year) Progression - nowhere for PA’s to go in the same bubble/department. They just see you as a good PA, and do not explore career progression or development, no matter how much you am involved with out of your usual duties Workday is awful!!! Over complicated and designed by people who don’t seem to know what the fee earners want. Left the business support team to battle on the front line Lack of diversity is really alarming. Very small number of female partners and no one black above senior manager grade (4 grades without) including partner level, which makes it difficult for them to do the right thing
