Avoid Employment Here At ALL Costs - Anonymous employee Rijal Law Firm Employee Review

- Inadequate training Chandani will tell you that not having experience isn't a problem. She will promise to give you extensive training and will tell you that training will last a duration of three months. She will promise to PERSONALLY take you under her wing and teach you all there is to know about immigration. It's a lie. What you will be met with is her not being in the office on your first day until after or about noon. She will put a bunch of notebooks with printed out manuals pulled from websites in front of you and expect you to read over them AND understand what is being said to you. She will sit down with you and, horribly might I add, rush through 8 different types of immigration cases with you and before you can blink you will find yourself sitting in front of a computer with 10 different case files on your desk and you will be expected to know what the hell you are doing. And she only gives you a few days to "learn" before she dumps something else on you. Saurab doesn't do anything but sit in his hot office with poor ventilation that reeks of funk. He is so far removed from training that he hasn't a clue what is going on outside of his office. - Horrible pay During the interview process Chandani will sway you with promises of advancement. She will sit in the interview and literally lie to your face about all of the "great opportunities" and dangle the "possibilities" for growth, placement and salary in your face. It will be enticing. Don't fall for it. They will tell you that your pay starts off at $15 an hour but what they don't tell you is that for that $15 an hour you are expected to clean up massive amounts of work left over from the many "other" employees that have run from this place. Also, they offer no benefits. So, theres that... - HORRIBLE management These two aren't even on the same page. Chandani will tell you one thing and Saurab will come right behind her and tell you a completely different thing. No communication at all. Don't expect any clear, concise directions. You won't get it. They both want to be the head "boss". And apparently it's been that way for years per the "family member" they have working there who likes to vent about the disorganization that has been affecting the functionality of the business for years. - Severely understaffed Only ONE person there knows what she is doing and she is located in California. She has a crapload of cases she manages on her own that she is drowning in. In the Irving office, they have a total of ZERO people there who know what they are doing. Literally. EVERYONE there is new. You will literally be sitting there for HOURS waiting for someone to show up and answer a question. Especially sine both Chandani and Saurab like to casually stroll into the office sometime around noon. And since California office is two hours behind you still have to wait hours before you can ask the lady in the CA office for help. And they continue to take on new cases knowing fully that they don't have the man power to handle it. SO again, imagine being new, knowing nothing about immigration, having crappy training IF you want to call it that AND being constantly bombarded with new cases on top of old cases...and you haven't the slightest idea what to do. - Extremely HIGH turnovers During the interview Chandani will tell you that "this is a field that most people can't handle and don't stay long in". She will say that most people don't last past the third month probation period because they can't take it. WRONG and WRONG. The reason people dont last THERE is because THERE IS NO TRAINING! I was told by the other employees that were there that they too were thrown to the wolves by Chandani and forced to learn everything on their own and the only reason they lasted past the few months (not much longer - 5 months WOW) is that they hounded the girl in CA for help constantly to the point of being a pest because Chandani failed to hold up her end of the bargain as promised to TRAIN them and she was never around. It's the not the job. It's THEM. - NO system at ALL Seriously. What law firm doesn't even have a filing system in place for files? They operate off a shared google drive and it is one of the most frustrating and most unorganized things ever. You can't find anything. There are multiple folders inside of folders. Even the email is jacked up. You have 5 people working out of the same email folder, working on top of each other, covering the emails, answering behind each other, sending the same requests to clients. They don't even have a functioning and effective phone system. No separate lines. No switchboard. Nothing. They are literally operating off a HOUSE CORDLESS PHONE. The phone is literally hand passed around from the front desk to the back. No hold buttons. Nothing. There is no call waiting so if one person is on the phone, it just continues to ring and ring and ring. - No one knows what they are doing And no one has the time to figure it out either. Before you can get started on one thing Chandani is running out of her office asking you a million times if you are done, snatching something away and/or plopping something else in your lap to start on. She will tell you that one thing is important and needs to be done but then turn around and forget what she told you and SWEAR its you. - No paystubs They don't give you paystubs so just hope that your check is right. For the green-carders they hire that might be okay, but I require paystubs. - Office equipment doesnt work/too many jobs on small printer meant for HOME use I swear nothing is more frustrating than trying to print something and you can't print because the printer refuses to stay connected to the network. Or trying to print something only to have to get up, walk over to the printer, turn it off and then back on, go back to your desk, disconnect from the internet, reconnect, and hope that it goes through only for that to not work and you having to spend 15-20 minutes repeating the same steps before it works. Now imagine doing this up to 10-15 times a day. Now imagine doing do this 10-15 times a day while three other people are trying to do the same thing you are doing. So now all of your printing jobs are messed up and out of order Explain to me why you are buying brand new desk top imacs but your PRINTERS don't work? Printing is one of the most VITAL jobs in the office especially when putting together packages and they don't even work. Overall, the place is running zoo. Unorganized. Dysfunctional. Stressful and not worth the time or the money. I wish I never even replied back to the email. I've worked for some difficult people before but this has got to be one of the WORST job experiences I have had in my entire life. It's definitely a lesson learned. Next time I get a feeling to run during an interview. Listen.
