Pros

Your choice of hybrid or remote

Cons

- Employees pay for benefits deducted from your pay - Even though you're a salary employee you have a monetary annual target from 250k upto 500k. If this is not reached you will not get a bonus and will potentially be terminated. - No SOP, reference material, training manuals. Nothing. - very Admin duty heavy. Your not really an examiner working on claims. Your duties is billing, paper work, meetings etc... - no perks like memberships or discounts at anywhere - Time recording. Down to the minute has to be logged and at the end of the day you have to total your 8 hours. A lot of people work 10 to 12 hours just to find 8 hours of time to bill for - The systems are a nightmare. You have to use the same system on 2 different platforms. Very tedious - High turnover

Pros

WFH 4 days a week(!!); target driven and friendly competitive environment; good office location; very accommodating and supportive line manager/director

Cons

Extremely difficult to graduate from paralegal to training contract as the hiring process is centralised with HR; and you have a bunch of youths masquerading as “early careers specialists”, who themselves are 23 years old and don’t know what a career is, somehow dictating your future. Low salary.
