Pros

Friendly and super-smart people, interesting client work, great work-life balance for consulting, minimal long-distance travel, immediate access to clients, exposure to multiple projects at once which introduces more variety into your work, huge emphasis on people and culture, very collaborative and collegial environment

Cons

Multiple projects at once can be a double edged sword if they're with 2 different managers (but this falls on you to manage expectations), long periods of time on the computer and sitting (but this comes with the territory in any consulting firm), lots of variety available but sometimes you can get stuck in one thing by virtue of having done a lot of it in the past, so you need to proactively manage this

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.
