LMI reviews

Learning new tasks, legal lingo.

LMI has consistently been fair with clients. When a political appointee asks us to do a study we did 5 years earlier for a predecessor, we show them the prior report before doing it over. When we do a study, we make a recommendation and offer to help the client implement it--but only if they want us to. While LMI did recently trim benefits, they are still above our competitors. They went from 25 days of paid leave to 20 days of paid leave after 15 years. They went from a maximum retirement contribution to retirement of 9% of base pay to 4% of base pay--and they will match up to 3% more if the employee contributes 3% as well. So they will contribute 7% of base pay, and if you put in your 3%, that is 10% of base pay going into retirement. That is not a hardship! Some people are only thinking about themselves, and they are annoyed that the company asked them to share in the cost of being competitive. Yet those same people were very happy to participate when the company had very profitable years and put extra money into the bonus pool. LMI has amazing work-life balance. That is one of the major things that people love. They will work with you to find whatever reasonable accommodation will let you do your work. We have people who telecommute. We even have had people who telecommute from overseas while they follow a military spouse. We have a fair number of people who leave the company and then come back--and they typically are welcomed back as warmly as if they never left. They have tuition reimbursement, and cover relevant certification expenses. The people are almost uniformly nice here. Most people are really engaged in their work and treat others with professional respect and courtesy. Most people here really like the fact that the company is not-for-profit. The turnover rate is lower than our competitors.
