Should I start looking around and quit a job with no great benefits or future?

Question

Just started an Administrative Assistant job a month ago. A small start up company (3 years old) with only one other employee and my boss. No benefits offered; I was aware going in. I'm 25 and didn't think it important. Then I found out our boss can't afford to give a raise; no yearly reviews. Turnover rate is less than 6 months to 1 year. Discounts on company services doesn't exist. But I need this job for resume building. My lack of experienced years made prospective employers pass me over even though I have the skills/knowledge. I'm not a job hopper. But I feel guilty when my boss gave me a chance. Or was I the only interviewee who didn't ask for much? Should I waste my time just to have this on my resume? Should I start looking and then give notice? What is the ave. salary for an entry level admin assist? Only a couple of years out of college, did I get screwed over for $11/hour? Wished I could use this place as reference, would it be rude? I feel bad even thinking of quitting

Answer 1

I recommend you use this job as a stepping stone to a better, much higher paying job with benefits... lol.. your boss is getting by really cheap for a college educated admin asst.. I'd give the company 6 months to a year at most to slap down on my resume..  best of luck... go get em...

Also, I'd like to recommend you enroll in my company and build a nest egg there as a second ace up your sleeve.

Answer 2

You need the experience.  Stay

there a few more months.  Look

around for another position,

because it takes time.

When you leave there wont be

any guilt feelings, because you

gave it honest efforts.

Answer 3

You show a remarkable amoutn of integrtiy and I applaud you for that. Are you certain that there is no future? Is the owner growing the business or fo you feel the business itself is going to fail?  Do you feel the boss would reward you if you in some way helped make the company successful?

Your first priority is to protect your future and if you feel that you are not going anywhere where you are I do not think it is a bad idea to start looking. But in your position I would not quit without having another offer.

Best of luck to you.
