A Culture Problem That Perks Can’t Fix - Administrative Arena Energy Employee Review

Working at Arena has been an incredibly rewarding experience. One of the best aspects of this role is the variety of activities I get to handle every day. From managing schedules and coordinating meetings to supporting strategic projects and handling communications, the job truly leverages a wide range of skills. I also appreciate having bosses who challenge you in the best way possible. They push you to grow professionally, encourage creative thinking, and trust you with responsibilities that make you feel valued. The company promotes a healthy work/life balance, which is essential for long-term success and well-being. Flexible scheduling and realistic expectations make it possible to excel at work without sacrificing personal time. Finally, the social aspect of the job is a big plus. Collaborating with different teams and building relationships across the organization makes the work environment engaging and enjoyable.

Not the right fit for everyone as it can be fast paced at times.

pay/benefits & work/life balance constantly free food everywhere you look and way too many events (money is thrown around like it's nothing)

ZERO room for growth. Some people are truly awesome, but unfortunately the "cancers" in the office can make it feel like it's the company as a whole. They are conniving and will do everything in their power to get you fired if you aren't the right personality type. The sad part is.... they will succeed at pushing out incredible people, while the cancers will feel untouchable. If you have the mental strength to avoid the cancers and stay on their good side, I advise you to do that (spoiler alert: one of them is very high up so beware). Also, these people are not your friends - trust no one. Come in, do your job well, and go home. Also, at least make an appearance at every event (your absence will be noticed). Play the game and you'll make it out alive!
