What is it like working as an Administrative Assistant?

I will wear many hats.

My worth.
Administrative Assistant:
Pros: Not dealing with the public, I rather be behind the scenes.
Cons: I don't have a specific job title. I'm always asked to do several different tasks without the compensation.
September 2015
All the extra tasks above and beyond and the blame.
Administrative Assistant:
Lots of cheat sheets, a really good memory, lots of organization, use Outlook to organize emails for retrieval, file your efiles just as well as your paper files.
