Pros

There is not a single positive!

Cons

No training. Awful salary Bullying is common practice and acceptable. Refer to a January employment tribunal case- discrimination and bullying. No infrastructure to aide it’s expansion. It’s ran like a cheap restaurant. They hand out training contracts but before accepting do your research. They advertise themselves as a “city law firm”! They ARE not! They are a conveyancing factory. You will have no training and they are building up an awful reputation. They advertise on their website that they have high end clients and partnerships. They do not! They have contracts with small firms and have legal fees of £300 plus VAT. So expect a very low salary and long working hours.

Pros

You will gain work experience and learn how not to treat people. They will hire pretty much anyone because no one stays.

Cons

CEO expects everyone to work like the income he receives. The pay is a joke. The upper management is greedy and highly toxic. I don’t recommend anyone work here who have morals, ethics, or any regard for people. It’s all about taking advantage of others. They believe they are in line with top performing law firms, they are a joke. You will routinely be screamed at and belittled.
