Pros

Friendly staff who are willing to help new hires and current staff as well

Cons

Poor management; nepotism; clicky environment; staff have no chance of moving up no matter what credentials, degrees, or certificates -- it's a place that suffocates you and doesn't acknowledge the hard work and commitment that staff put into their work. They treat staff like they are utterly disposable.

Pros

Benefits, 401k, some friendly staff.

Cons

Jackson Lewis Los Angeles is so poorly managed. Support staff receives zero support and are overworked and underpaid. Lots of wasted talent and mistreated employees. Bonuses are only given to attorneys and upper management, and any employee who meets the impossible qualifications for the bonus is given several reasons why they do not qualify, including reasons that were never addressed in any review, meeting, etc. Management and attorneys never address employee concerns, yet constantly harp on employees for not meeting billable hour requirements, or managing their impossible-to-manage workloads. Secretaries are expected to support 4-5 attorneys at once and provide support to any other attorney that might need it. The office administrators never last, they either quit or are fired after creating inappropriate relationships with staff members and playing favorites. This place is a disaster and has been for several years. It is very unfortunate because there are a lot of very capable and talented employees wasting away at Jackson Lewis. There is no room for growth and if an employee expresses interest in advancing in their career they are shot down with "issues in their performance".
