Pros: the job was very versatile.
Cons: too much work for one person, should have had two admins.
I was an employee for 4 1/2 years with STG when they laid me off for no reason. It was during their contract renewal time. A typical day consisted of reviewing and answering email and voice mail messages, answering program manager's phone as needed. composing presentations, putting together protocols and marketing material, updating databases, registering

What I learned is that to always ask if something is not clear, which I always did and watch my back.
As far as management goes, there really wasn't much communication or teamwork within the department.
My co-workers were very helpful except for a couple of people. There was one person(s) who gave me instructions on a task(s), I did the task(s) the way it was requested and then the person(s) would say that they didn't tell me to do it that way.
The hardest part of the job was, the different personalities and making sure that all instructions were understood.
The one thing I disliked about the job was, that you were rated by your performance and not by your accomplishments.
I enjoyed talking to the customers and assisting them. – less
