Akerman Reviews

Everything. They are cheap. Won’t pay for you to take a car home at 10pm, overtime meals, etc. Lunch hour is not included in compensation. The people are incredibly rude, demanding, and demeaning. Never received a kind word, and the work was not fulfilling. It was easy. They are consumed by form over substance. Learned absolutely nothing. Actually became morbidly depressed working here. There are cockroaches and they never fix anything. The building really is dumpy. You will work there for a year and never meet your team or manager if you are in a satellite office. No one will talk to you. Attorneys refuse to make eye contact with staff. Your manager won’t even wish you happy birthday. It is the worst place I’ve ever worked.

The firm is basically managed by partners in Florida, and even though the offices in LA are very liberal, the powers that be in Florida are not. The health insurance plans for individuals just more than doubled, vacation is average, salaries are low (bonuses are jokingly small and both bonuses and raises are based on time not performance).
