Pros

Office offers free coffee and tea.

Cons

Unrealistic and unhealthy expectations. High demand for next to nothing in compensation. CEO will fire you in a heartbeat if his breakfast order is missing the correct amount of slices of cheese or for some other trivial reason. Revolving door of administrative assistants. No one lasts more than 3 months. No HR department. Expect to have no work-life balance. CEO will text day and night and demand response time be under three minutes among other absolutely insane demands. Depressing place to be employed at. Administrative Assistant role is not clearly defined, responsibilities range from physically cleaning common areas to interacting with high profile political candidates on behalf of CEO. Salary offered because hourly wage would result in large amounts of OT being paid.

Pros

I had a very positive experience as an intern at The Advance Group. From the beginning, I was trusted with real responsibilities and had the opportunity to work on high-level client projects. The team was supportive, approachable, and willing to mentor interns who were eager to learn. The environment is fast-paced, which helped me develop strong organizational, research, and communication skills. I also appreciated the flexibility and the opportunity to grow over time, which led me to extend my internship.

Cons

Because the work is fast-paced, it can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially at first. However, if you are proactive and comfortable managing multiple tasks at once, everything should be fine.
