Fresh Grads...Stay Away - Anonymous employee Neal R. Gross & Company Employee Review

Great opportunity to get exposure to the legal industry especially in the government sector. In my role I get to attend various proceedings and also work in the office on the admin side. Smart, helpful colleagues.

Schedule can sometimes be unpredictable. Company is government contracting focused which has been challenging with the current administration and political environment and many changes going on especially in the federal space.

The people working entry level positions and just above are really nice people who are all stuck in the same sinking boat that you are. Work from home is available depending on your position. Non-management employees really try to help each other out to deal with the unknowledgeable management.

The founder of the company retired and gave control to his son who has no interest in the business and no experience even though he would say otherwise. The new CEO (Son) then proceeded to fire or force out all employees with institutional knowledge of the business because they all demanded reasonable salaries and raises and he thought he could just hire his friends to replace them. There was limited room for upward mobility before the son took over but now there is none. I’ve watched this company change drastically due to the change in hands from the father to the son over the last 9 years. The company will hire you under one position title and then train and employ you as a completely different position without informing you ahead of time. Management has been replaced so often at this point that they no longer know their roles and just collect their paychecks while taking credit for the work of their employees who have been there years longer than they have but were never presented with the opportunity to even apply for the management positions. Management takes no responsibility for business outcomes or issues and will simply blame the prior management while offering no plan for correction. Ownership and management does not communicate even basic changes to lower tier staff until they have already affected either their work or pay leaving employees straggling to make ends meet at times, e.g. Government Shutdowns, Loss of Contracts, Client Dissatisfaction. Do yourself a favor and don’t even bothering applying because even if you get hired it likely won’t be for the job you applied to, it’ll be for less pay than advertised, and no one in management will care. This company will likely cease to exist in the next 5 years as they are so poorly managed and clearly on the decline.
