High Caseloads and low morale

Paralegal

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Young environment with co-workers around 22-35, as they hire a lot of new grads during CAP. They provide snacks and meals during CAP season and other perks. They have a regular community outreach program that each team takes turns to lead.

Cons

Extremely high caseload, even if you're brand new with no experience. The expectations are high and working on the weekend may be a necessity just to get work done to meet deadlines. The work can be monotonous and boring, and with the high amount of cases with little oversight, this can lead to low morale. Training isn't great either. Pay is not competitive.

Fragomen Response

We're incredibly sorry you had this experience.For those of us on the HR side it is hard to hear. We acknowledge that Fragomen is a fast-paced, demanding, challenging environment, and we try not to sugar-coat that. We're the biggest and best immigration law firm in the world, and that means we're busy. But it certainly doesn't mean that we don't value our employees, the hard work they put in, and the sacrifices they make. We're constantly looking at ways to improve our benefits, work-life balance and general working environment. I'd love to hear more of your impressions (and those of any other current or former Fragomen employees that might feel the same way) as we work on making these changes. gwhyld@fragomen.com; Gary Whyld - Director of Worldwide Talent Acquisition

Not worth the paycheck

Assistant paralegal ii

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I’ve made some really great friends working here. Team members collectively try to look out for one another.

Cons

The management staff is horrendous. There is a horrible culture of throwing people under the bus by supervisors and attorneys. Other staff members are given unfair promotions or raises, and the favoritism is extremely apparent. We are very blatantly underpaid for the work we do here, and there is little room for growth within teams.

We're incredibly sorry you had this experience, and that you feel that the Firm has this attitude towards its employees. For those of us on the HR side, it is hard to hear. I'd love to hear more from you with regards to what we could do better- gwhyld@fragomen.com (Gary Whyld, Director of Worldwide Talent Acquisition)

Workload is unmanageable/HR is negligent

Paralegal

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits. PTO is flexible

Cons

Attorneys/managers don’t seem to know how to properly delegate work; they don’t consider what’s already on your plate before they serve you more than you can manage, they then continue to pile work on you and get pissed and start to micromanage, which doesn’t help. HR is absent or just clueless. Claim to be “open door” but you just find a closed door with a lot of bs “inspirational” quotes; Admin tells us to just knock, but it’s uncomfortable, they are either laughing or it’s dead quite- it’s weird - like what do they actually do?
