Pros
Administrative jobs are some of the most plentiful in the organization and if you keep your eyes open, you can quickly climb to the top of the admin ladder.
Cons
Making the next step away from the admin field into another can be challenging. It is difficult to get required experience to be competitive in future interviews away from the admin job family.

Approves of CEOI worked at City of Austin Texas full-time for more than a year
Pros
Benefits, Work life balance, some opportunities for advancement
Cons
Traffic, gossip, gossip, and gossip (yes, there’s a lot of it). Also, parking can be a nightmare so make sure you know about it upfront. Unfortunately, some workers get into low level positions and stay there for 10-20 years. They can really make it hard for new comers to learn and grow. More than half of the time you’re idle (just my experience, can’t speak for other depts or units), so workers spend their time...
