Work Environment
Chief executive officers (CEOs)—especially at large companies—enjoy very comfortable and attractive work environments. They have large, modern offices that are filled with the latest cutting-edge technology. Numerous support staff workers are available to help them do their jobs. CEOs often enjoy such perks as executive dining rooms, the use of company cars and jets, and liberal expense accounts.
There are some drawbacks to being a CEO. The hours can be long. Many top executives work more than 40 hours per week. Chief executive officers frequently travel to their company’s local, regional, national, and international offices; to trade shows and other events; and for other employer-related activities. Additionally, this job can be very stressful because CEOs are under intense pressure to succeed and they serve as the public faces of their organizations if scandals occur, earnings don’t meet investor expectations, if labor issues slow or halt production, and when other negative issues arise.
