Cons
- LegalVision hires law grads to do sales with the lure of a job at the end of a year as a lawyer if you do well in the role (very appealing especially in the current job market). - The job description doesn't really mirror what you end up doing (it's glorified legal telemarketing - don't fool yourselves). You think you will be speaking to great sophisticated clients and then liaising with the lawyers to get exposure to the actual legal work but, in my experience, there was no project "management" it was project initiation and then passing off to the lawyers to do the work, meaning the legal team and the customer care team are very separated. - The leads are usually very poor quality so your job ends up being a triage legal secretary. - Sales were put above provision of legal advice. Bet your bottom dollar baby - The sales targets were unrealistic and we would have a lot of pressure placed on us to turn around a bad quarter if say a capital raise did not go as planned - Each customer care employee has a mentor and the mentoring is meant to support you and improve your performance but what ends up happening is that your calls are listened to and you get criticised for an hour straight and leave feeling absolutely depressed. It's very big brother in there. - The culture is very cliquey and I often felt excluded. -The pay is pretty poor. $60K including super. - I often did not feel like I could ask for help, and would get criticised for asking for it as they would say this was disruptive and loading problems onto senior/other team members. As a junior, you will obviously not know what you are doing quite often and there comes a point where you need to ask for help and its negligent not to provide that help.
