Pros

the office is pretty nice, benefits are decent Chicago managers are great

Cons

The most micromanaged company I’ve ever worked for. The managers in Utah are single handedly pushing out every good rep this company had with their intense micro management. It doesn’t matter if you’re hitting quota, that’s not enough. They pick apart every single thing you do and there’s always someone hawking over your shoulder to make sure it’s done the exact way that they want. Overall, stay away from this company, I don’t know anyone who is actually enjoys working for Filevine. Nothing ever seems to be good enough for them, there’s constant stress and anxiety solely created by the Utah upper management. zero work life balance, regardless of what they try to tell you. Just stay away, trust me.

Pros

Good people on the team and the ability to earn money quickly

Cons

The culture felt extremely toxic, with leadership often creating an environment driven by fear, favoritism, and constant pressure rather than support and development. Leadership and executives are in it only for themselves. Work-life balance was virtually nonexistent. Employees were regularly expected to work holidays, often staying until 10 or 11 PM with little appreciation or recognition for the sacrifice. Long hours became the expectation rather than the exception. I was also disappointed by how customers were treated. There was often a significant disconnect between what was promised and what was actually delivered, and many decisions seemed focused on short-term gains instead of creating a positive customer experience. Behind the scenes, there were practices and conversations that made me uncomfortable and did not align with the level of transparency and professionalism I would expect from a company. The turnover was high, morale was low, and many employees seemed burned out. While there are some good people working there, the overall environment made it difficult to feel valued or optimistic about the future.
