Growing into Electronic Era - Institutional Relations Assistant IERF Employee Review

This company is well run with a strong management team, and knowledgeable senior staff. They know their business very well. Extensive training was provided, both with a comprehensive and well-put together handbook although most of my training was on-the-fly. The office is in a nice secure building in Culver City that is roomy enough for the 30-40 employees that work here. The company is very thorough with their pre-employment questions and screening and upfront about their expectations of you. If you show up, and are positive and do the work that you are expected to do then you will be fine! Don't expect to skate by doing the bare minimum here because management does have high expectations, but I feel like the support that they offer while going through your tasks makes one have high expectations of themselves.

Sometimes the office is too hot or too cold!

- Comprehensive training process. - Consistent work hours. Little need for overtime if you're efficient in managing your workload. - Strong benefits package. - Zero micromanagement: management is entirely hands-off. This may appeal to some more than others. - *usually* Approachable and friendly staff.

- Limited growth trajectory. - Occasional poor communication between staff and management. Senior level employees can be inconsistent in their application / understanding of policies. - Lack of a cohesive office culture / too impersonal. This may bother some more than others, but the office is VERY quiet and few staff members interact with each other on a regular basis. I believe this is a consequence of both the nature of the work (95% of the time spent on a computer, sending e-mails, inputting data etc.) and the quantity of work. While it never got to be too much for me, you will remain busy and will feel that you have little time for conversation with your colleagues, especially if you wish to avoid overtime.
