WORST PLACE TO WORK IN SEATTLE

Pros

Decent pay and benefits if you started in the 80's or 90's. Low pay if you started after 2005.

Cons

They treat their employees like cattle. The people who run the firm are heartless, and could care less about you (but they act like they are your best friend). Once you reach a certain age, they lay you off, regardless of your years of loyalty or performance. They lay off their best employees and hire young people with absolutely no experience and pay them really low wages. This WAS a great place to work when I started there in the 90's. Now it is a cancer ward!

Pros

There are good people to work with at this firm

Cons

When I first started at Lane Powell, I was sold on a company that prided itself on employee longevity. Over the last year, the company has showed that loyalty is no longer valued. Between lay-offs and the loss of benefits (decreased vacation time, reduced holiday bonuses, elimination of longevity bonuses and the removal of small perks like monthly staff lunches/events), they have proven that their only concern is their profits. They even reduced the salaries of their entire Finance department, without warning, cutting their hours to 37.5 per week. Lane Powell is no longer competitive with other firms when it comes to pay, benefits and security.
