An excellent place to work
Executive Assistant, Contingent (Former Employee), 200 West Street –
Pros: a great place to work
Cons: what's a "con?"
No, there's no ping pong table, but the working environment is really excellent. Motivated individuals will advance; Management is fair (I think so). Co-workers are friendly and helpful (very). The hardest part of the job? Finding enough hours in the day to get everything done. The most enjoyable part of the job? Being part of the GS "family."
