Difficult work, low pay, zero job security, zero opportunities for advancement, long hours (you’re often expected to work far more than 40 hours a week). You’re paid a set salary so the company doesn’t pay you for extra hours such as evenings and weekends. Some ADs work seven days a week to get the heavy workload done. At-will employment means you can lose your job at any time for no reason. They often let people go after they’ve been dedicated employees for 10+ years, with no severance and no pension or benefits, simply because they “restructure” entire departments for no reason. My boss, who was beloved by many, was suddenly let go after nearly 30 years with the company. Pay is horribly low and despite the company making record profits, some years we don’t even get the measly yearly bonus. Hard work and dedication are never rewarded.
