(Strengths and Weaknesses of the Millennial Workplace) Based on how much technology this generation has around them it makes sense that their greatest strength is technology. According to Bob Funk, the CEO of Express Employment Professionals, “Our research shows that younger workers excel at the obvious—technology. After all, many of them basically grew up with devices in their hands” (Strengths and Weaknesses of the Millennial Workplace). On the other hand, even though they posses this technical skillset, it is known that Generation Y has an issue with commitment. Based on the same research previously stated, their biggest weaknesses are known as lack of commitment, over-inflated sense of self, face-to-face communication, impatience, inexperience and inability to receive criticism (Strengths and Weaknesses of the Millennial Workplace).

Unlike baby boomers, Millennial seek to have more free time and a more flexible schedule than that of a typical nine-to-five
