Practising Law Institute Program Assistant reviews

We always appreciate reading comments from both current and former PLI employees as we find great value in their insights. We are very glad to see the positive comments about our strong efforts to be transparent and provide excellent work/life balance, to name a few. With regard to recent remarks that voice concern about little room for growth, it is worth noting that more than 40% of our current staff has been promoted at least once, with some on multiple occasions. While there may not be a promotion in store for every employee, we would like all staff to feel they are learning and growing at PLI. To that end, we are continually exploring career development initiatives and have already committed to new training programs in 2016. A comment was also made regarding our recent merit increase program, to the effect that PLI simply offers “cost of living” increases. We are pleased to share that the average employee increase at PLI this year was 4.24%, with more than 60% of employees receiving 4.5% or higher. Various internet reports indicate the majority of companies gave an average of 3.1% in 2015, and the current cost of living in the U.S. is actually running at under 1%. Keeping these figures in mind, we are proud of our ability to offer our committed, hard-working employees merit increases well above both! We continue to welcome feedback. Best Regards, Joan D. Sternberg VP, Human Resources
