LegalZoom reviews

Within two weeks of starting at LZ Tax, the culture went from open integrity and honest communication to a fearful dark place. The founder was set aside and everyone clammed up. After 5 months of dedicated work at LZ Tax, I, along with 58 other tax professionals were let go in a 15 minute Zoom meeting. We didn’t see it coming, and were ambushed one morning at the beginning of July. The only explanation given for this rather tacky layoff method boiled down to bad decisions made at the top level. They are now hiring again. Stay away; they do not value employees or honor them; as we are treated as easily replaceable objects.

It's become very clear that the only way to advance within the company is to come from outside. People with a fraction of experience to existing people will be hired in to high level positions because they are a friend of a friend or come from a company other leaders came from. Then they'll leave within a year for the next career hop, becoming directors or VPs in only 5 years or so. People left behind who have to pick up the pieces, work the job of 3 or more people due to staffing cuts, who are loyal to their working team, will get penalized for not being able to do every job flawlessly. Doesn't matter if you're smashing goals. You can fail to meet some unclear checkbox by inexperienced managers and lose 100% of your bonus with no warning.
