Day Pitney Reviews

Lawyers do not possess effective people management skills Most dysfunctional work place I have ever encountered; a true case study in cruel and unusual treatment of staff

Unfortunately this company is so dysfunctional at the partner level that it is just continuing to ride on its previous good name as Day, Berry, and Howard. The staff management are looked down upon and not at all appreciated by the partners. There is a reinforced elitism among the partners that they have created and work hard to reinforce that it even comes to the point where partners cannot be bothered to engage meaningfully with anyone other than their compatriot partners. I was not management but saw this throughout my four years at the firm. There is little to no growth opportunities within the firm so everyone who has ambition to move up the ladder beyond one step has to leave (and we all have) the firm. Compensation rates are also, when compared to competing firms, extremely low with no effort made by management to be competitive.
