Pros

Human resources is well organized - very effective with lay-offs...

Cons

TR is just another investment vehicle supporting the top 5% and higher is the management chain. Thousands of people are laid off, but I suppose that Mr. Jeff Smith and team haven't missed any meals recently. What a shame. I am a great supporter of capitalism and the free-market society, but I do recognize the term "Predatory Capitalism", and I believe that TR falls under that description. Somehow, someone was able to justify putting thousands of people out of work just to make sure the share-holders were happy. What a dismal demonstration. The management at TR is apparently not creative, inventive or has any demonstrable problem solving skills. Their skills start and end at viewing a spreadsheet, looking at percentages and getting rid of staff if personal bonuses are at risk – genius… Good look with all of that…

Pros

Barest minimum of hours required, can set own start/stop time, friendly folks,

Cons

Mind-numbing banal work (inserting thousands of footnotes a week into books), attorneys treated with contempt, have to report to supervisors who are not lawyers - some with no college degree. Senior management on site possibly insane.

Pros

Remote work acceptable 401K match

Cons

There are too many to list, so for your sanity I will stick to the highlights in this trainwreck of my biggest career mistake: 1. They do not promote from within, so your Regional Sales Manager will know less than you do about digital marketing, Salesforce, internal contracts & anything relating to internal procedure red tape. 2. This is a cold calling job- period. 3. You will spin your wheels on “renewals” as client cancelations & complaints are the norm. 4. You will be held to elevated quotas with no explanation or reasonable analytics. 5. Regardless of tenure & success, you will be fired after 3 months. 6. They claim to be “Client Forward”, however there is no help, concern or actionable procedures for disgruntled clients. 7. It’s a churn & burn environment - for both clients (just cancel them & sell new), or employees (hit the number or we replace you). 8. Lastly, FindLaw was a great place to work years ago, however with the tiny salaries, huge quotas & no pension or job stability - it has become an entry level playground for the misinformed. You are just a number. The few people making money here are in the top territories. They make money but hate their jobs. Run. Run like the wind.
