Associate - Associate Lozano Smith Employee Review

The company has a great culture focused on development and equity. They value each employee and give you what you need to be successful.

Didn't really have any complaints.

Support staff is friendly and ready to help. Lots of snacks. Pay and benefits are competitive.

Partners and Senior Counsel actively bully and harass younger/new staff. Partners and Senior Counsel rarely come to the office. Associates are required to be on site. New hires are not given on-the-job training and instead are told to complete training on their own/off the clock. Partners apply rules differently to people they like. Partners gossip about attorneys in office. Upward mobility is very restricted and heavily based on company politics. Work-life balance does not exist; you're paid a lot to work a lot. Partners do not address allegations of bullying or workplace harassment. Partners and Senior Counsel selectively give work to Associates they like, making it difficult to meet billable requirements. Practice areas may be selected for attorneys based on what the managing partner wants. There is no support group or team for newer Attorneys. Partners and Senior Counsel do not take mentoring seriously. HIGH TURNOVER. Little to no feedback on work product. Not a diverse company. Not supportive of mental health issues. Many of the attorneys do not treat support staff with respect.
