Pros

Tight knit groups, substantial work experience, reasonable hours.

Cons

In some litigation groups across NY and DC, they are doing layoffs for “performance related” reasons but the speculation is that they are stealth. Also below market pay that isn’t changing anytime soon.

Good place to work, but the paralegals are severely underpaid.

Business Outlook

Pros

Overall a good place to work. Current manager is investing a lot of time in our education and responsibilities. Benefits are great except for medical.

Cons

The paralegal department hasn't been looked after as well as the other departments among the firm. We didn't even have a manager until a couple of years ago while there were managers for all the other departments. We had no one looking out for out interests, especially on the salary level. During my tenure I had to advocate for myself just to get paid market value. Between the increases in medical insurance and inflation in general, Venable is not paying their paralegals to compensate for that. Prior to the pandemic, they were already underpaying their staff. Prior to the pandemic, by BCBS was 100% coverage after meeting a $250 deductible. The deductible is now 4,000 and only 90% coverage.
