Would Not Recommend! - Anonymous employee Banner & Witcoff Employee Review

In contrast to some reviews on here, I found Banner to be an excellent firm to work for. The workload was very manageable. There was minimal managing. Often, they ask to take on more responsibilities but they were more than reasonable requests, and always provided the option to say no. Never felt micromanaged in the slightest which is really nice in contrast to other firms. Attorneys were extremely nice. Days off were always granted and accommodated. From the perspective of a job, Banner is objectively a great place to work.

Changing the remote work policy to include more days was unpleasant and felt unnecessary but otherwise, I never had any complaints about the company. The company culture skewed to pleasing the attorneys but that makes sense.

Though we were promised with pay increases, that didn't happen. Not even once during my tenure in the firm. The firm's actually lucky to have resilient employees who love their job and takes care of it even though its leadership doesn't.

While the company receives huge paychecks, it's not the same for its employees. To think we work at least 12 hours a day, we don't get paid for overtime work! Salary is awfully low, no company benefit could cover for that! Leadership, the partners, as well as the associates were abusive, disrespectful, and condescending to everyone else! They act like they're the highest beings there and all others have to worship them! They're immature and childish, and their attitude is just ridiculous! Don't even try to seek approval or acknowledgement because they'd never do that. They'll only see you as their slave and that won't change! Many people have felt offended by how they were treated and most resort to hating the firm and its leadership and quit! The turnover in this firm has the highest I've seen and most toxic culture I've experienced.
