Pros
The office is in close proximity to Milos. That's it.
Cons
Where do I even start. 1.) Treat employees like complete dirt who do not deserve basic respect 2.) Lowest salary compared to any law firm in Alabama 3.) To get this imaginary raise they speak of, you must meet an impossible number of billing hours and then hope they do not get cut because of bad wording, etc. 3.) HR department has no heart. Trust me, they do not care about you as a person. You are a number. 4.) This company is literally a revolving door. Someone will be there one day, gone the next. You have no value in their eyes. 5.) Attorneys get leather chairs. Paralegals get non-leather chairs with arms. Secretaries get non-leather chairs with no arms. This is how they treat people: if you seem important, you will be at the higher end of the food chain. If not, you get treated like dirt 6.) The HR department will hate you. Just accept it. They hate all their employees and don't be fooled thinking you are an exception. 7.) You will be offered this job as "salary". Don't be fooled, this is an HOURLY JOB. Your paycheck will vary based on clock in and out times. That is defined as hourly. 8.) Kiss vacation days goodbye. After working the end of your first year, you will be handed 10 "vacation days" at the beginning of the year. However, you better not have a family member die, have a medical emergency, have an unexpected life event, becomr extremely ill, etc. - these vacation days will disappear immediately. There are no other options. 9.) They do not care about you, they only care about legally covering themselves in every aspect. Get run over by a car in their parking lot? Better make sure you are released to return to work & have documentation for their file. That's all that will be said to you. 10.) Fun fact: you are billed out at $75 per hour; you will get paid $15 per hour. Forever 11.) GET READY FOR HIGH SCHOOL. The gossip and drama between grown adult people is higher here than any high school in America. Shocking right? You WILL be talked about behind your back. Everyone is. 12.) Snow storm? Tornado? End of the world? Doesn't matter - this firm remains open and you better find a way to get there to clock in on time. 13.) Think you're an adult? Carr Allison doesn't. If you are under the age of 50, you are still a child that will get treated like one. 14.) Do you like sunshine? Tough. Paralegals are not allowed to have offices with windows. 15.) Do you like to eat lunch? You better do it in 30 minutes flat (this would be your UNPAID lunch break). Oh and don't clock in a minute early, you will get a nasty email. 16.) If you still aren't convinced, just know that you will 100% find all of this to be true. I would never spend this long typing a review if I wasn't trying to help prevent others from making the bad decision I did when I accepted this job.
