Growing pains - Anonymous employee Blessinger Legal Employee Review

Great management. Very encouraging and respectful

Long hours but that's to be expected

Many employees are able to work remote and part time - which is necessary to put distance between yourself and the owner

I have worked at law firms, nonprofits, retail stores, and food service, and I have never experienced a workplace as toxic and miserable as this one. The owner acts abusively toward her employees, seeks out reasons to berate and yell at people, and sets them up for failure with impossible-to-meet deadlines that can't be achieved even by working many hours of overtime. She is unbelievably passive aggressive and terrible at communication, but she also micromanages to a degree that it is impossible to avoid constant communication with her. She contacts employees outside of work hours and on days off, and her work boundaries and attitude toward employees are extremely unprofessional. The owner refuses to take accountability for how her behavior impacts employees, and many employees are asked to fill additional roles unrelated to what they were hired to do. There is no HR so these issues go unaddressed. The only way to survive at Blessinger Legal is to become comfortable being a punching bag, and if you try to stand up for yourself, you will be punished. My mental heath was seriously damaged by my time at the firm. Even if you're desperate for work, you're better off looking elsewhere.
