Pros
My fellow co-workers. My fellow co-workers that I worked closely with everyday are amazing. They are friendly and kind and my fellow co-workers always had nice things to say everyday and were the only reason I stayed at the job for as long as I did. My salary was great as well.
Kontras
My official title was executive assistant to the CEO. My initial red flag was that I was so much more than that. I was Front Desk secretary as well, PERSONAL AND EXECUTIVE assistant to not only the CEO but also the COO, and I dealt with all of the mail, and supply orders for the entire company. I was told to go on so many personal (and work related) errands, I booked doctors, dentist, hair appointments and so much more. I would also have to answer emails, calls and texts late at night and on the weekends while with family that I did not get paid for. This job consumed my life. And none of this was brought to my attention prior to accepting the job. Now through all of that, I personally struggle with mental health issues. I have severe anxiety, PTSD due to trauma, and depression. Well, when I got fired, I happened to be going through a really bad bought of depression. I felt as though I was fired based solely on bias reasons and not actually because I wasn't doing my job properly. I reached out first and sat down with Jenica (COO) and Winnie (CEO) in separate meetings and explained to them that I was struggling with my depression and anxiety - after they were concerns with my performance. I had tried to bring this to their attention multiple times. Paper Source is an at will employment agency, so they have the power to walk up to any employee and fire them without any notice. I felt as though this is what happened to me since I had tried to explain my situation. Both of my bosses were aware of my mental health issues and yet after meetings with them and talking with them about what I can do to improve, I was just fired a month later. The example given to me when fired was that I had lack of attention to detail, the example used was a specific situation where the COO had me use her company card to book her on a personal vacation. I did not realize this and I had booked her at a different airport than her family, and she was very unhappy with me. Paper source is clearly changing as a company. The employees are becoming more and more mistreated and fired without warning or compassion. It is a very stressful place to work because you are in constant fear of being fired for no reason.
