Pros

No dress code; flexible schedule

Cons

If you’re a favorite with management, life is good - if not, you feel frozen out and invisible; dogs are no longer welcome at work; impossible work load; secretaries/assistants get no portion of the attorneys’ bonus, but do 3/4 of the work (would 5% of that bonus REALLY be missed from the attorney’s bonus??)

The Sam Bernstein Law Firm Response
6y
This is Mark Bernstein...I appreciate your review and thank you for sharing your thoughts. There appears to be a curious correlation between two reviews that positively identify our dress code and flexible schedule while, at the same time, referencing favoritism (this review and a review posted on 10/26/19). Of course, I am sincerely concerned if anyone at our firm feels "frozen and invisible." That is awful and unacceptable. And completely contrary to the culture that I want to establish and preserve at our law firm. We have built into our routines and structures ways for everyone to voice their opinions, share ideas, and contribute to the work and culture of our firm. I'm personally committed to this essential, urgent effort. My door is open and I welcome anyone to join me in a conversation about these issues. Visit. Call. Email. Whatever is easieist and most comfortable. I want to hear from you!!

Pros

Hybrid work schedule, generous PTO and paid holidays, fast-paced environment with many opportunities to learn and gain experience.

Cons

Workload can lead to burnout quickly, and maintaining work-life balance can be difficult. Workplace culture varies widely—some employees are incredibly kind and supportive, while others can be more distant.
