It's been my experience during my career that many Admin positions are contract positions. What has been your experience? Have any of you been hired as full-time Administrative Assistants.

I was an AA 4 years not contracts. Now an AA for 1 year contract and just got extended out for year 2 ( I’m grateful for the job market is rough and competitive right now) Contract work without the benefits makes it difficult to want to go above and beyond in your role. I’m just hopeful I can eventually find a salary/even hourly with PTO.

I hope so for you too.

Help,I started a new career n the events industry and I think I have to quit! The person I report to is so disorganized and there are no other managers in the office to direct day to day operations of our department. On day 2 I was asked to go to a job site and perform a 12 hour day without any training, safety equipment or tools. On day 3 I was asked back to site to do general labor! I ended cutting my hand on an exacto knife and there was no first aid! Is this normal?

Hi- I’m an hourly AA, been on the role for 6 months now and it’s my first AA job. I did not get a raise when I took the job because it was technically a demotion ( I was a team leader at a contact center). I assist two VPs and now they want to add a third because they’re looking for the “ 3:1 ratio “. Should I ask for a raise? Is this normal? I know another AA that handles 3+ people but idk if she’s hourly or salary. Any thoughts?
