Pros

Flexible working and good systems. Good training courses available.

Cons

Expectation of you to go above and beyond in your role for basically minimum wage. Very catty and cliquey PA’s who have been there for a long time who end up managing you and think that they are in a high up position. The business support function treats the PA’s like they are still in school, micromanaging. There is no real progression for PA staff, they have something called the BVA which you have to essentially write coursework for to be a senior PA however you are still in the same role with no added progression.

Pros

Consultants were not overworked, and people are generally staying in their own lane. Strong knowlegeable teammates and lots of internal resources to grow. Work life balance was good.

Cons

I left during a time of transition, since the top practice director retired and the EBA leader took over as interim leader. This interim guy seemed to be waiting for something to take any action with current resources, and he was not too interested in rallying or figuring things out as a team. If he had expectations, they were never communicated to me. The lack of clarity was very challenging for me personally, and it came off as a lack of support. I think others in the team probably feel similarly.
