Pros

Fantastic Christmas parties. Free drinks, breakfast bagels on fridays, I cant think of anything else nice to say - this place is horrible!

Cons

The company won me over with their mission statement of how important their employees are. They claim to be completely concerned with making their employees happy. Happy employees means happy customers right? What a joke! The company has zero desire to make their employees happy. The micro managing is insane. The trainers are basically bullies that talk down on you and make you feel like you arent worth anything to them. Was even told that even though you were the top performer, you were basically the best of the worst. The main trainer who is too smart for his own good has got the most horrible lack of people skills possible. He's obviously pissed at the world and takes it out on the employees daily. They hire by the truck load and have new trainees coming in every two weeks 15 - 20 at a time and this gives them the ability to be able to cherry pick at all times. They run you to the ground and then toss you out the door. If you work there or plan on working there, beware, when your turn is up, they go through your personal belongings (purse, computer bag, back pack, etc...) . I understand they have a right to go through your desk but your bags??? That's just wrong.

What went wrong with LegalZoom?

Pros

Started off as a very entrepreneurial company with lots of potential and opportunity for growth, but that has dissipated.

Cons

Due to the pressures for growth and preparing the company to go public many of the things that made LegalZoom great have deteriorated. LegalZoom was a fun company to work for with dedicated employees, but leadership has sacrificed employee morale for productivity. Micromanagement is rampant throughout middle management and even executive management at times. Employees input is taken by management but almost never followup on. Compensation is below market rate and sometimes you are forced to work long hours.
