Pros
This is not a place where attorneys yell at you or you have to complete tasks such as making copies from them. Health insurance is completly paid for.
Cons
This firm is run very ineffectively and there is a disconnect between the supervisor and the attorney in regards to work load. This firm operates through micromanaging and pressure. Your every action is watched to the extent that if you're 1 minute late on logging an activity in the system then you are immediately emailed by the supervisor. However, the supervisor has no knowledge of what tasks you may need to complete for the attorney (which are more pressing). There is a constant pull and lack of understanding. One paralegal was responsible for the day-to-day and court deadlines of 1,000 clients in addition to two other litigations. This is way to much for one paralegal. In a 7 month time period 5 people were fired or either quit. The firm is a revolving door. The majority of the workers are fresh out of college and living with their parents. The firm's goal is to hire those who will accept the lowest salary to replace those who are making more. There are weekly meetings under the guises of having a floor for open dialogue, but it is a place in which the supervisor is given a forum to bully the paralegals and ask them why they are not completing all tasks when they are already overburdened. Sick and vacation days start after 4 months. 17 days given in total. No overtime. You are repremanded if you work over your regular hours or through lunch. Although there is too much work to complete during 9-5. Please avoid for your own benefit.
