Banner & Witcoff Reviews

The Executive Director micromanages everything. She's friendly only to certain staff members and makes life miserable for those that she doesn't like. She's unprofessional and caustic. She hires managers that she know she can manipulate and pushes out the ones she knows think for themselves. When benefits increased by more than double one year, the HR manager told her that people weren't going to be able to afford to work there because of the benefits increase and her response was, "too bad, they can get a job elsewhere." Easy for someone with her salary to say about the folks that are making pennies. The morale is terrible due to management treating employees like children - no eating at the desk, no headphones/ear buds, many federal holidays aren't observed. Very rarely close due to inclement weather, which left one employee's car stuck in snow on the side of the road in a snow storm. The person thankfully had a friend with four wheel drive to pick them up off the side of the road. Benefits are sub-par at best. No short term disability. Basically, unemployment would be better than this place.

In my 15+ years of working at law firms, this was worst work environment I have ever worked in. The executive director runs the lives of the staff, regular emails are sent out about how to dress, no eating at desks, no personal conversations and other petty topics. There is a very high turnover rate and low office morale.
