Pros

Clean, modern office. Always parking.

Cons

This is a glorified call center. The workload is unmanageable. Upper management is dysfunctional and lacks emotional intelligence. There is extremely high turnover because workers are seen as dispensable & replaceable. They are always desperate for new hires. They intentionally hire young adults/ recent college grads for smoother exploitation and slower burnout. Work morale is low. It is obvious HR and management leave positive reviews on job recruitment sites; Otherwise the true rating would be 2 stars. No one is happy working here. Employees will try to express concerns and make suggestions but are always ignored or lied to. These people are not leaders, they are bosses. They do not care that EVERY employee struggles to meet their unrealistic expectations. Case managers drown in caseloads, deadlines, and voicemails. Many cases don’t get the attention they need and eventually get lost. It is clear the bosses value quantity over quality. Another reason of the high turnover is because they have refused to raise wages. One employee has the job of 2 people. Their excuse to not raise wages is because the employer matches their 401k. However, employees must wait 1 year to begin a 401k and 9/10 people quit before then. (Seems intentionally set up that way to save money?) During interviews we are told we would manage 300 cases. Our workloads have always ranged between 400-550. Management does not care if clients verbally harass you, unless they know for a fact there is no $ to pursue in the case. They love to boast about how good benefits are, but they only provide the bare minimum. Only 3 days of sick time for the entire year. 7 hrs PTO per month. Don’t have any hours? Too bad. Unpaid time is not an option. On 2/8/2022, someone else left a review expressing similar concerns. I recommend reading this. I wholeheartedly concur with their perspective. I did not feel valued as an employee. Bosses showed zero appreciation for us, even around the holidays. I had to remind myself to put my mental health first, because these bosses do not. I learned a lot about self-worth. “No matter how precious you are, if you are not in a place that values you, you will not be valued.” This is not how a real law firm would operate. If you have hopes of entering the legal field, perhaps becoming a lawyer, do not work here. You wont gain any legal knowledge. NT employees spend 8 hours on the phone and replying to client’s emails. The appeal process is mindless data input. The only good thing I have to say is about coworkers. The misery becomes more tolerable when you suffer together, and the laughs are good. Management is at the core of all problems. I would NEVER recommend Nyman Turkish to someone looking for an attorney or a job.

Pros

Will make you wish you didn’t work here

Cons

This firm has zero culture, the lawyers praise themselves by saying they are compassionate to their clients but will not care a penny about you in reality. HR will give you attitude for free, they never answer your questions and will tell you to read the handbook instead of just replying to the message. The partners are money and business driven, definitely don’t expect respect nor appreciation. As a former employee I will say, the firm forced us to work through hurricanes, the office building was flooded after the hurricane leaving us without AC and no elevators, we had to climb 7 flights of stairs daily for about 3weeks, we also had a fire inside the parking garage which left some of my coworkers without a car yet we were expected to show up to work. In conclusion, I do not recommend working here unless you’re ready to start taking mental health meds.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We take every employee's experience seriously, and we remain committed to the supportive, professional environment we work to maintain across the firm. The safety and well-being of our team is always a top priority, including during events like severe weather and other situations affecting access to our facilities. When circumstances like these arise, we work to make appropriate accommodations and to address safety concerns for our employees as quickly as possible. Many of the clients we represent are facing serious, often terminal, illnesses, and delays in their cases can carry real consequences for them and their families. We are mindful of our responsibility to support our team while continuing to serve clients who depend on us to keep their cases moving. We are committed to an environment where employees can raise questions, receive timely answers, and feel supported by HR and leadership. Our firm's mission is rooted in helping clients navigate a difficult process, and we extend that same care and commitment to our team. We're proud of the employees who have grown with us into leadership roles, and we offer a comprehensive benefits package, generous time off, and strong retirement options as part of that commitment. We appreciate you sharing your perspective and wish you well in your future endeavors.
