Horrible Environment - Recensione dipendente - Paralegal presso Burg Simpson

Lots of mentorship’s and opportunities as a young attorney

Benefits package is not very impressive

Clear demonstration of what kind of work environment to avoid in the future.

This is a toxic work environment fueled by disengaged and ineffective leadership. Managers will go days without speaking to employees—no check-ins, no guidance, no acknowledgment. The lack of basic communication creates constant uncertainty and stress, leaving employees to navigate their roles without support. HR does not function as an employee resource. Despite the appearance of neutrality, HR exists to protect the company and management, not the people doing the work. Raising concerns leads nowhere and results in no meaningful resolution. Rather than address management failures, the firm relies on demotions. Employees are pressured to accept reduced roles while still performing at a high level and assisting until a replacement is found. This approach feels punitive, exploitative, and designed to push people out rather than fix problems. Morale is low, turnover is high, and employees are treated as easily replaceable.
