Good training and nice team, but pay is low - Recensione dipendente - Senior Digital Assistant presso Mills & Reeve

The people are not only nice but very good at their jobs. The offices are great, there is an authentic positive culture and management really do care what staff think. For a law firm you will struggle to find a nicer place to work.

It’s not a sweat shop but it’s still a law firm. Firm growth target is high. Pay and bonus could be much better, and hasn’t been as good more recently. There is a turnover of staff which needs addressing. Large partnership structure where partners are all paid the same as equity partners elsewhere means pay is lower for the rest than it should be. This can negatively affect morale amongst more senior FEs who are not partners given their workloads. Fair pay should not be a trade off for not having to work 15 hour days and weekends. Most FEs work 10-12 hour days and should be paid better for that.

Work-Life Balance Culture Benefits Flexibility

This is standard across the industry and across the world, but naturally the interests of the shareholders come above the interests of the employees. Not mad at it, just a fact.
