Pros

People are nice, typically not a stressful environment

Cons

Management will not give you any constructive input. They will deceive you into feeling valued and act like they value your intelligence when in fact its all about bottom lines, not employee investment/development like they so claim.

Practising Law Institute Response

We agree there are many nice people to work with at PLI and invite readers to apply for open jobs which may lead to the occasion to meet some. In addition to organized training programs offered to employees, PLI provides several opportunities each year for staff to convey suggestions on how we can help with their professional development. Every department has a budget for this. We also make an effort to obtain and respond to all types of feedback, both here on Glassdoor, as well as through many avenues inside PLI, including our intranet and at staff events. As a result of this input we have implemented many suggestions and made changes based on employee ideas. The evidence of this abounds and we can point directly to employees whose suggestions were adopted. If something has caused the reviewer to believe his/her ideas are not valued that is certainly disappointing. I encourage the reviewer to reach out to me or any member of the management team to discuss his/her concerns. Joan D. Sternberg VP, Human Resources
