Neal R. Gross & Company Reviews

This company is being run into the ground by washed-up GenX fools who were either friends with the CEO before they were hired or have worked here for 20 years simply because they don't have the skills to work anywhere else. They hire recent grads to bully and make themselves feel better and smarter. If you can get through a day in this office without a backhanded comment meant to put you down, there were probably no managers in the building that day. The company tried to "grow" in FY25 by hiring six new staff last summer, and all but one have either left or have plans to leave before reaching a year. Do not believe their lies in the job description. Whatever it is, you will be court reporting, and you will hate it and quit. Or in a different instance you'll be hired for a fully remote job and then fired when you ask for 48 hours notice before coming in to the office. For a remote job...Save yourself the gas money and metro fairs. Apply somewhere else.

I really do not reccommend working here. There were red flags from day one. Your hired as one job position but your trained and working as another position. You are told your schedule for the next day at 6:00pm the night before. You are travelling all over the D.C. and Virginia area for jobs. For travelling jobs outside of the area they have issues with reimbursing court reporters. They will owe you up to $1,000 for a job from 2 months ago. They provide false information during hiring process. They are also never closed for holiday and you earn very little PTO. And you get no sick days so you will be using what little PTO you earn for sick days as well. They will make mistakes on your payslip. They have trouble processing invoices, returns, and receipts for customers. Good luck getting in touch with someone to get anything done. Then the big drama of suddenly cancelling all the court reporters salary contracts to hourly saying it’s a new government rule but never providing the information on this. Court reporters were forced to switch to an hourly pay system that didn’t provide enough hours as the system was so strict on what you’re allowed to clock in for. The salary pay was already very low for the cost of living in the area. So they lost a bunch of employees from their greed. And the annual reviews are a joke with a very small raise on an already incredibly low salary. Everyone is making under $60k which is incredibly low for office workers in the area along with cost of living. They consistently say they have no money. Their go to solution for all the ppl who quit due to low pay is to hire more executives. Here’s your very obvious solution: pay your employees a living wage and you won’t have such a high turnover causing the quality of work to plunge. They insist they are “a small family business” yet they own innumerable multimillion dollar properties through their realty company. They mostly hire fresh college grads who have no knowledge or experience to know what’s right or wrong in a work environment and bc they know they are likely to accept ridiculously low pay. This job also has no upward mobility. Do yourself a favor and keep looking elsewhere. You do not want this mess. They have many government clients that I think if they knew the way this place was run and its arbitrary pricing system wouldn’t work with this company either. Their court reporters aren’t even certified which I’m pretty sure is illegal. Their own greed is going to run themselves into the ground. Be warned, I wish I would’ve been.
