Pros

I love how I can ask for support anytime of the day from fellow executives. They answer to queries real time! Aside from a wide array of supporting documents, nothing beats peer to peer support. It's a family here!

Cons

Application process might take quite some time and can be tedious but trust me, it gets better!

Pros

Athena is an advocate for work-life balance, both for its clients and employees. EAs are set-up for success through in-depth training and provides support even after client-matching.

Cons

The biggest challenge for me is graveyard shift but this is inevitable since clients are based in the US/UK. All EAs are made aware of the possible schedule from the on-set, even during recruitment.

A supportive community, on-time pay, fantastic client, everything I hoped for before joining the team. I'm genuinely grateful for Athena's effort in making sure we, EAs, feel cared for during this difficult time. Bonus is the cool swag and channels we can use to socialize. :)

Cons

Extensive training and assessment. Graveyard shift.
