Pros

In all fairness, Managing Attorneys are not bad people. Unfortunately, they look the other way while a member of senior management engages in practices that abuse and exploit employees.

Cons

Salaried Employees are exploited. It is not uncommon for a salaried employee to work over 40 hours in a week (by Wednesday or Thursday), take off work early on a Friday or take Friday off (approved by Senior Management) and then be docked that "time off" from their PTO banks. What is frustrating about this practice is that it does not appear to be condoned by the the managing partners as those who have stood up for themselves and complained have had their PTO credited back to them. The problem is that the member of senior management who administers PTO continues to take away accrued PTO without notice. Pay stubs do not track PTO balances or activity so unless you ASK what your PTO balance is, you have no way of knowing if you are being robbed of your benefits.

Pros

The legal team was relatively close knit.

Cons

The legal team was close knit, meaning if drama happened with one person it likely went down with everyone. There was constant fire between the collectors and the legal team, with the collectors coming off as the poor abused workers who worked so hard for no pay, yet they constantly were allowed to leave early, show up whenever they wanted, and there were always morale boosting games and competitions going on. On top of that, the collectors received commission on top of their base pay, which was higher than most of the legal team. Salaried workers were taken advantage of since they were expected to work more than 40 hours, including late nights (past 7pm) and weekends, but if they left early on any given day that time was docked from the pay sheet as a day not worked and PTO was not accrued for that entire pay period of two weeks. We were not even allowed the title of "Legal Secretary" since then management knew they would likely need to pay us more.
