Pros

Benefits, kind patients, good benefits

Cons

The management team is racist along with some of the workers. Management is selective with whom they reprimand. They do not provide proper training for some staff members then later scold them for not knowing the functions of the job. There are workers who violate HIPPA laws yet management makes excuses for them. Working as a team is inclusive for certain race groups and not others. It becomes very uncomfortable to vocalize concerns as they are always swept under the rug. The behavior of some management members comes across as sabotaging and revenge. There are also incidents of lying on workers. Certain race groups do not receive any backlash for their actions in the work place such as using their phones, being disrespectful to patients, leaving their workstation multiple times throughout the day while others receive it for minor incidents. This has caused many to quit which also becomes a burden on the remaining staff as the workflow increases creating a burnout. Management fails to see how this effects the staff and remains firm on operational needs as opposed to also meeting the needs of staff whom also need a work life balance. The retention rate is horrible due to these factors. There is a lack of diversity and inclusion especially when “minority” groups remain targeted and are terminated for very minor incidents as opposed to other groups. Workers feel targeted and break down due to emotional distress from management and a group of peers. Colleagues who have worked in the establishment for a number of months/years make daily mistakes yet they put pressure on new staff to learn and perform to their expectation. The same very people forget to check in their patients for treatment and create lies to cover for themselves.

Pros

A lot of people to work with and a great amount of exposure to different in-house counsel areas. If you are proactive, there are plenty of people willing to try and meet with you and explain things, though their time is limited. If you can pick at their brains, the Attorneys of the smartest and most hard-working individuals you'll meet. They have some fun events and team-bonding,

Cons

Lack of diversity in interns, which make fit and experience difficult. Even upon meeting diverse staff and people, there always seems to be a barrier and front. Attorneys generally have little time to teach you, but they do their best. Compensation is lackluster, but benefits and events are fun. Sometimes work can lag, and you must be proactive in seeking it out for yourself.
