Pros

Practising Law Institute (PLI) is a non-profit organization and industry leader in the education space. Under Anita Shapiro's guidance the company has seen tremendous growth while maintaining it's standard guiding principles. Sales specifically saw a dramatic change in the last three years in terms of organizational structure and commission incentives. Sales leadership team is hands on while allowing for reps to work without micromanagement. Working for PLI was unlike any sales environment I've been apart of where work-life balance actually does exist. Working for for PLI is one of the best kept secrets there is. Don't let the word "nonprofit" deter you and be prepared to do the work.

Cons

Lack of career advancement in terms of vertical promotions. Management can seem a little out of touch with modern practices of organizations elsewhere but at the same time does a very good job of creating a solid, fair, and productive work environment.

Pros

Great benefits (even for pets!), reasonable salary, generous vacation and sick time, summer fridays, very friendly coworkers

Cons

If you’re in your 20s, you’re probably one of the youngest people here and you probably work in customer service. The majority of people are in their 30s and 40s. Not a huge con, but don’t expect to go out for drinks with your coworkers if you’re under 30 AND you’re not a manager.

PLI is very proud of the generous benefits that we offer and we are so glad to hear that you enjoy them! Thank you for your feedback about requesting opinions from our staff. We certainly do want to hear from employees of all levels. As a reminder, we have suggestion boxes located throughout the office along with a suggestion email account. Both are reviewed weekly by our President and VP, HR, so please share your ideas, many of which we have already acted on. We want our employees to feel challenged, engaged and happy at work, so we encourage everyone to talk with their managers often regarding how PLI can help them be best at their jobs. Professional goals and employee suggestions are topics that are also included for discussion during the various formal performance review processes that take place several times each year. If you are not comfortable speaking with your manager you are always welcome to talk with HR for advice. We appreciate your feedback. Thank you.
