Great benefits, not so great management - Anonymous employee Wisconsin State Public Defender's Office Employee Review

Pros

The benefits are excellent, paid time off, sick leave, and retirement are all great.

Cons

No pay raises, seems like a whole state employee problem though. Local and main offices are ran by attorneys, almost all of whom have zero management training or life experience. Even though it’s a large company, to get hired now, it is more “who you know” than actual qualification for the job. A lot of turnover, direct result of poor management.

Pros

Fulfulling work serving people in need of representation

Cons

Incompetant micro-managing middle management. All staff is expected to work near holidays but middle managers take off every holiday for hurt fingers and banged up elbows. We had to fill out hourly task sheets showing what we were working on. A manager yelled at me at my desk, and when I reported to HR, they instead had me investigated.
