Pros

The staff is great! It includes a bunch of very hard-working, smart, fun people. The firm puts on fun events (summer picnic, Mariners game, holiday party).

Cons

Great promises of monetary bonuses and paid days off during the interview, but most of the details were left out. They are based on attorney performance which is out of the staff's control. Staff needs to be employed for three full trimesters before fully reaping the benefits. I was assigned to a shareholder who (as I was told by many) doesn't work well with women. I was miserable for most of my time working with him and was reduced to tears several times. I was told "He's a good person, just grumpy." I had requested a transfer and was being trained to temporarily work for another attorney while his paralegal was on maternity leave. In the meantime, anot opportunity to work at a firm closer to my home came up so I accepted. Almost immediately after giving my notice I was fired and told I wouldn't be paid for my four days of accrued vacation. I filed an unemployment claim and they are disputing it.

Thank you for taking the time to go to Glassdoor and write a review. We are a collaborative place and do have a great hard-working staff. Management spends countless hours planning events and ways to make this a great place to work. It is nice to hear that you enjoyed working with the great team we have. However, we are sorry to hear that your experience did not match our expectation of being a firm where all employees work hard and are challenged to get the best results for our clients. We provide every team member with a welcome summary upon hire which outlines our policies regarding pay and paid time off. Each employee has the opportunity to read this document and signs an agreement that they understand our policies. I am sorry if you misunderstood. We are always available for questions at any time. Please feel free to contact comments@glpattorneys.com.

Pros

GLP has very specific goals each week they intend to meet and is very communicative about them. They make meeting goals worth it. I can’t express enough how communicative the company is about goals (i looooved it - never worked somewhere so great about it)

Cons

My first day three girls told me who i could and couldn’t talk to if i wanted success in the office. The staff was very rude to each other. Management was generally unavailable.
