Promising start, but declining management and lack of support from partners
Pros
-Initially, the firm provided a good working environment with interesting cases. -Supporting staff were supportive and great to work with.
Cons
-The managing partners are more focused on acquiring new business rather than managing the existing caseload effectively. -Supporting staff are overwhelmed due to improper training and excessive caseloads. -Attorneys are frequently traveling or out of office, leading to a lack of in-person support. -Managing partners do not seem to communicate with each other and are often unaware of new procedures or plans -No opportunities for career growth or professional development. -Existing staff are constantly required to train new hires without additional compensation, adding to their already overwhelming caseload. -Requests for raises are declined. -HR is non-existent, making it difficult to voice complaints or opinions. -Certain managing partners are condescending and difficult to work with, especially when asking for assistance. -Management does not seem to care about the problems or how they can improve. -They do not communicate with staff in the correct manner to resolve ongoing issues and tensions.
