Vantaggi

Not much pros to this place! Paying weekly with direct deposit and free parking are the only real pros of this dump! Maybe they pay competitive rates at times.

Svantaggi

I worked at this company's former Miramar location several years ago around December of 2014. I understand that they have recently moved to Miami Lakes. I couldn't stand the austere and draconian work environment where you couldn't talk and socialize with co-workers in a normal work environment. I understand that the nature of document review work can lead employers/agencies to implement strict confidentiality protocols to ensure the integrity of the sensitive information that document review attorneys look at, but Update Legal takes it way too far! Most document review centers/workplaces respect you as an adult and allow you to have cellphones on your hand for personal and business reasons so long as you're not being obnoxious with it by distracting others by talking loudly interfering with others' work. However, to require that every lawyer who works there put it away in a locker as if we were schoolchildren is insulting on both a personal and professional level since attorneys, as a whole, take client confidentiality very seriously and it would be abhorrent for most attorneys to purposefully tell unauthorized people about our clients' sensitive matters and business. As attorneys, we go through a rigorous screening process to get licensed that evaluates our character so there's no need to treat us as potential criminals especially since we have professional reputations to remain and the threat of a bar complaint looming over us if we do violate our client's confidentiality agreement. I joined an English project hoping to work a month or so only to be unceremoniously let go after the first day with no apparent reason at all. All I was told by the then recruiting manager at the time was that the client just wanted to let me go. I feel that as a professional, I deserve to know the reason I was let go so that I can correct it in the future. I think it's very inconsiderate of me as a human being to not be told why I was let go or fired from the place. I wouldn't recommend that anyone ever go work there unless they want to feel like they're being watched like a hawk as if they were in some bad "Big Brother" movie. Even though they moved to Miami Lakes and changed some personnel, they still haven't changed their bad company culture. That's a problem.

Vantaggi

They are nice to work for because they are not one of the temp firms that try to pay as little as they can get away with. They have placed multiple people into temp jobs that became permanent jobs at firms.

Svantaggi

Seems as if they have less connections with firms that keep the placements coming.
