Pros

*Generally a very talented administrative community *The community is supported by an Administrative Council *Executives are very supportive of the admin community *Opportunity to further develop your talent

Cons

*Changing overall corporate culture *There are those exceptions to supportive executives *Salary grades are assigned by role with executive instead of administrator being able to keep an existing grade if moved into a new role. It would be better if career accomplishments and proven talent are maintained at grade level. This is likely due to EAs being non-exempt.

Pros

Cisco is a globally recognized company with solid processes, clear structures. The brand name carries weight, and there are opportunities to work on large-scale, complex systems.

Cons

Despite its reputation, the company often feels more focused onbusiness outcomes than on employee well-being. Decisions are frequently top-down without reasoning, and individual circumstances are not always considered. There is a noticeable gap between stated values about people and how employees actually experience care and support on a day-to-day basis.
