Pros

Some projects have flexible work hours.

Cons

Leadership at Consilio’s Minneapolis office creates a toxic work environment masked by a surface-level friendliness. Employees are often told how “lucky” they are to be there, but that illusion doesn’t last long. Management has a pattern of publicly berating employees, often in front of their peers. Feedback is not delivered professionally or respectfully, or privately, and dissent is punished. Office culture is chaotic and poorly managed. At one point, a well-meaning attempt to address an ongoing issue via a polite office note resulted in a public reprimand. Incidents like this weren’t isolated; others were routinely singled out and disciplined harshly for perceived slights. There is no consistent screening process for contract employees. Some hires raised serious concerns regarding safety and professionalism, including threats and alarming behavior in the workplace. Management failed to intervene early, and only acted when situations escalated severely. Internal communication practices are careless. Emails were sent without blind copying, exposing employee contact information. This resulted in instances of inappropriate contact, harassment, and stalking. Overall, the environment felt unstable, unsafe, and disrespectful.

Pros

It can be a decent stopgap if you need temporary income, but it’s not a place where you can build stability or feel particularly valued.

Cons

Working as a document review attorney at Consilio was, overall, a frustrating and unstable experience. The biggest issue is the lack of job security. Projects can end abruptly with little to no notice, leaving you scrambling for your next assignment. Despite the expectation that you remain highly responsive and available, there’s no reciprocal commitment from the company to provide consistent work. Management quality varies widely by project. Some team leads are organized and communicative, but others are unresponsive or unclear with instructions, which creates unnecessary confusion—especially when deadlines are tight and expectations are high. Feedback is minimal, and when it does come, it’s often inconsistent. The work itself is repetitive, as expected in document review, but what makes it worse is the pressure to maintain high speeds without sacrificing accuracy, all while navigating ever-changing protocols. Training is often rushed or insufficient, making it harder to feel confident in your work. Pay is low for the industry and overtime opportunities can be inconsistent or suddenly cut off. There’s also a noticeable lack of transparency around project duration, extensions, and selection for future work.
