Pros

Co-workers are genuinely good people. Managers and up are friendly and accessible. Base pay is fair. (differs from hourly real wage)

Cons

Fractional staffing doesn't work terribly well -- Some sort of R&D (whether it be a bench or dedicated team) is needed. Work-life balance can be nonexistent, depending on the project.

Pros

Strong culture and collaborative environment with smart, supportive colleagues. Admins are trusted partners and get exposure to senior leadership, which provides great learning opportunities. Compensation and benefits are competitive compared to similar roles.

Cons

Workload can be high, with admins often supporting multiple stakeholders while also providing backup coverage. Expectations can vary widely depending on the team, which can create inconsistency and pressure. Career growth paths are less structured and require a lot of self-direction. Work-life balance can be challenging at times, especially across time zones.
