TOXIC – Dysfunctional - DO NOT WORK HERE - Legal Assistant Arnold & Porter Employee Review

Pros

There are no Pros...Everyone is unhappy, paranoid. Unable to trust anyone...

Cons

Don’t even think about working here. This place is a nightmare. Power struggles, politics, blame shifting, whispers, rumors, paranoia and uncertainty are more than enough to tell yourself that you are holding on only because you need the job. Secretaries/LRAs feel helpless at the hands of lower management who take pleasure in making you cower. Secretaries no longer work with a set of assigned attorneys rather they are now required to work for the entire floor and/or, except for the favored ones, act as secretarial floaters on other floors. You will be disrespected, scolded, lied to. You will always be wrong and expected to agree that you were wrong even if you can show that you were not brought into the loop.
