Pros

Decent pay, good technology, good training. Penny was one of the best office managers I’ve had.

Cons

Upper management lets attorneys do what they want, as long as they’re bringing enough clients/money to the firm. Results in a toxic work culture.

Pros

Relatively good pay Strong companywide culture

Cons

Note: Cons apply to the editorial team, rather than the entire company. Lackluster onboarding Poor training with insufficient mentoring Inconsistent application of editorial standards and methods that are more concerned with not offending attorneys than with actually making documents better Ignorance of/disregard for basic rules of grammar Forced employees across the country to work on Pacific Time Gaslighting Belittling of previous experience, a general attitude of condescension Criticism of employees in front of other employees Lack of preparedness for meetings and instructional sessions
