Pros

The company offers a fast-paced environment with exposure to a wide range of responsibilities. Colleagues are generally capable, and the organization itself has strong potential. Self-directed employees can gain hands-on experience quickly due to the volume and variety of work.

Cons

There is limited career development and no clearly defined advancement path for Executive Assistants or similar support roles. Contributions from administrative and support staff are often overlooked, with minimal recognition in meetings or leadership discussions. Accountability is inconsistent, which can result in uneven workloads when performance issues are not addressed. Training and onboarding are effectively nonexistent; new hires are expected to perform immediately with little to no guidance on processes or expectations. The work environment is consistently high-pressure, leaving little time to absorb information, learn processes, or work sustainably. Most tasks are treated as urgent, creating a constant "fire drill" culture. Work-life balance is a significant challenge. The pace and expectations can contribute ongoing stress and anxiety rather than a manageable, supportive workflow. The return-to-office policy lacks consistency. While most employees are required to be in the office three days per week, some individuals remain fully remote without clear communication, leading to perceptions of inequity.

Pros

I can only speak as a salaried employee, but LFG is very flexible with time and what you need to take. They are flexible with work schedules that does help with work/life balance when it comes to handling things outside of work. The job itself is interesting and enjoyable. For my position, the pay is much higher than similar companies, and the benefits package is unmatched.

Cons

-Too many customers. My BoB has nearly doubled since I started and it is unmanageable. -Volume of e-mails and work is so much, that taking PTO is stressful as you spend as much time getting ready to go out and digging out when you come back that the time off isnt worth it. There is never a break. -Outsourcing and saving money is more of a focus than hiring quality/knowledgeable employees. They outsource to other companies that do not have the knowledge base or level of service that we as employees and our customers have come to expect. -I wake up stressed everyday for work and it did not used to be that way.
