Outdated Management & Toxic Work Environment
Pros
Some talented attorneys and staff who genuinely care about their work. Opportunities to gain experience quickly due to high turnover.
Cons
-Horrible management; the managing partner is stuck in the past; -Extremely low morale across the office. -Very high turnover—people don’t stay long - 10 associates, 1 paralegal and 1 assistant in 25 months! -Rigid “face-time” requirement: attorneys must be at their desks from 8 AM to 6 PM, no matter what. -Collaboration and social interaction are discouraged—management flat out says, “you are here to work, not socialize.” -They exploit their wheelhouse of labor and employment lawyers to tilt situations in their favor. -No real focus on employee well-being or retention. -They tell you what you want to hear on your interview just to get a warm body to fill a seat.
