Vantaggi
The Pros with my position were the leniency and the lack of micromanagement. It's very well known that if you work in a Mailroom you'll have plenty of downtime which was a huge benefit for me being a student at the same time. The job itself was easy as long as you did the basic work. -Downtime -No one breathing down your neck at all times -Easy job to fulfill
Svantaggi
Facilities is not a long term job for anyone to be honest. The Facilities role gets treated with some disrespect, you'll be viewed as "the help" (could be dependent on where you live) but the higher up the people you interact with the more they tend to look down on you so be prepared for that. You'll be verbally told how much you're appreciated by management but it truly does not mean anything because they will never pay you an extra penny for your extra efforts, do not ever expect a raise unless you get an offer from a different company for better then they MIGHT try to keep you by paying you off. Basically there is no reason to work harder because there is no incentive whatsoever other than fulfillment of doing a good job and a "thank you". Do enough work to keep your job but not too much to be relied on for extra work without the proportionate pay you deserve for it.
