Mixed bag - Anonymous employee Carr Allison Employee Review

As stated in the Pros, it depends on which attorney you work for. With some attorneys, there is no training or learning curve - you are expected to know the ropes from day one without any instruction. As a result, simple mistakes are repeated without any correction, then you're fired for sub-par work. Some attorneys were a revolving door, going through half a dozen paralegals during the 4 years I was there. The non-attorney firm management really needs some training in how to work with people. They do not understand what is involved in legal support work in the 21st Century, in the age of emails and attorneys who can work round the clock from anywhere in the world. Also, the accounting department is constantly trying to shift its work onto already overloaded legal secretaries and paralegals. No solutions or suggestions from staff are welcome, unless it conforms with what firm administrators want to hear. Health insurance is ridiculously expensive for family coverage.
