A lot needs to be done to turn this firm back around. Employee morale is frightfully low. Analysts are forced to fight tooth and nail to keep their jobs and will throw each other under the bus at a moments notice to avoid the inevitable mass layoff. Hard work is recognized by more work being piled on, but no overtime is allowed (unless you are in the "in crowd"). Work is robotic and mindless. Everything is nitpicked from making sure your out of office sign is on your desk when you leave each day, to simple harmless errors like a typo. Management would make you feel like you ruined the entire case over something small like a typo, which is absolutely ridiculous. After leaving this place I got a job at a real law firm and learned that things like typos are not the end of the world and the courts could care less. Making employees feel like sh*t over something so minimal is wrong. You get to the point where you feel like everything you do is wrong. Managers all act like they're in high school and spend their days talking on the phone or hanging out in each other's offices chit chatting about non-work related subjects. It makes no sense for a law firm to have as many supervisors and managers as Gray's has. Most law firms have a firm administrator, HR, billing department, and attorneys who act as supervisors to their paralegals and secretaries. There is no need for a whole staff of supervisors and managers. But this place is hardly a law firm so it makes sense. Managers play favorites with certain staff members and it's completely obvious to everyone except upper management, apparently. Favorite employees get away with working endless overtime, talking all day and not carrying their workload. Anything you talk to HR about will eventually get back to whomever it was about so watch your back. They will say that they "have to discuss this with your manager/supervisor", even though it may be about them!! Employees are treated like a number, not a person. If you are looking for legal experience, go elsewhere. This place will get you nowhere.
