What went wrong with LegalZoom?

Pros

Started off as a very entrepreneurial company with lots of potential and opportunity for growth, but that has dissipated.

Cons

Due to the pressures for growth and preparing the company to go public many of the things that made LegalZoom great have deteriorated. LegalZoom was a fun company to work for with dedicated employees, but leadership has sacrificed employee morale for productivity. Micromanagement is rampant throughout middle management and even executive management at times. Employees input is taken by management but almost never followup on. Compensation is below market rate and sometimes you are forced to work long hours.

Pros

Nice, friendly co-workers. Good trainers who work very hard despite what they have to work with. Nice office and grounds.

Cons

Paid WAY lower than appropriate for the high-stress, extremely focus-intensive, un-necessarily overly-complicated work. Trainees who have learning disabilities end up feeling lost very quickly, and very little attempt is made to make sure they are catching on. Tenured employees are required to "shadow" trainees in the final stages of training which can sometimes add to the confusion of an already stressful experience. The unwieldy array of websites and computer tools one has to use in order to do the job are un-necessary, and could be easily streamlined. The location is relatively inconvenient.
