Pros
The paralegal team are amazing and supportive, along with some of the attorneys. They paid well at the time of my employment.
Kontras
The paralegal managers are absolutely horrid, it made working there unbearable. They have two people to do one job and neither of them are happy or helpful. The workload was back breaking with many people having to go off sick due to stress. There was little to no flexibility and management had no empathy for their employees. Complaints were not dealt with in line with their policy, instead they made things up as they went along. They have a high turnover of support staff which puts additional strain on the remaining paralegals, but this is never acknowledged or appreciated. Staff retention is low. Lastly, the drinking culture. Some may see this as a pro but it seemed that all cons were written off because they throw a party. You need more than parties and free drinks to retain staff. Plus, not everyone wants to be around alcohol in an office!
