Management out for themselves. Prefer to hire external candidates than promote from within. Poor training for new hires.

Pros

Above average pay and great benefits. Job is mostly administrative work for five attorneys, all of whom are great people to work with.

Cons

Tough commute from suburbs. You are given a book on your first day and that's your training. You are the only paralegal in the office and reaching out to a paralegal in another office with a question will get you reprimanded. You learn entirely by making mistakes and no other way. It's a confidence killer. The company touts work/life balance, but this manager isn't on board.

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We agree with you that training is essential for the success of new employees, which is why the Enforcement department revised its training for new employees in January 2019. Now new Enforcement employees complete a six-month new hire training program. The program includes a checklist/roadmap with a director and peer mentoring throughout the first six months on the job and at regular intervals thereafter. We also offer several training opportunities a month to supplement the learning that occurs via the new hire program, on the job and over time. We hope these changes improve the experience for future employees.
