Pros

Can do a variety of work and have experience with different clients. Colleagues are generally friendly.

Cons

Work life balance is very difficult, with lots of pressure to take calls early in the morning and late at night. Most of the team is coming from similar country/community and feels a little bit like a high school click and it's difficult to fit in if you are not part of that community. They often speak in their native languages even when others are around.

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.
