Knox Attorney Service Reviews

In the first place, the pay is barely above today's minimum wage in California (and Silicon Valley for that matter). And seems like pretty much everything MUST be done on a RUSH basis due to the nature of the legal field. As a courier and process server, some folks would say that you get used to all that driving, but the fact is that with this office in San Jose (Northern California headquarters), they will send you all over the Bay Area from the local South Bay to the Tri-Valley and Peninsula, and as far away as San Francisco, Santa Rosa, and even the Delta area (Concord, Pittsburg, Antioch). They will never mention this ahead of time, but do be prepared to go to Sonoma County (Napa), and maybe even to places like Stockton. As much as 250 miles each day is really not good for your health and well-being. And traffic has been getting worse and worse over the years, so no, you'll never really get used to all this driving! The office is also clearly disorganized and there are times I have seen duplicate work orders or I have been sent to a bad address or been given the wrong information. Bottom line is that this may be a good short-term job, but I personally would never make a career out of it. The job is not very flexible in terms of schedule, medical benefits are a joke, and no 401K or savings plans are available. Would not recommend this employer at all. So much for claiming their people make them #1.

Steep learning curve - There are many little things to be learned and pay attention to, you'll get about 1-2 weeks of training for things that will take at least 2 months to get running smoothly to fit into the position that you're hired for. Overwhelming tasks - Most of the time you'll need additional 2-3 hours to finish your expected daily tasks. Tasks are easy, but not enough time. Always understaffed - Employee will leave. New employee: too intense training! You realized there's no growth, as there is always the same tasks and there are no more skills to put into your portfolio. Your tasks keep increasing to no end. You're always falling behind and playing catch up. You'll prioritize your daily tasks and ended up burying your tasks even though you don't want to. Career opportunity is extremely rare as there are no new positions in the company for years. Not a proactive culture workplace - but there are always this mentality around of being non-responsible if the job is off your desk. Subpar benefits - takes over 20% of regular employee salary to afford own health insurance, for spouse and dependents you'll have to pay full rate which easily cost more than your whole paycheck - you'll end up getting health insurance via your spouse or via the state subsidy: Covered California. So there's no way for a head of household to support a family with this. Yes, company does have a free $10k accidental/death but that's all. You do also get 401k at 1% match but then you realized that you can't even contribute to it given how low the wage you got. Wage increase is next to nonexistence: there is no raise for the last 2 years you worked and you find out that people getting 3 less than 2% raises during over 10 years of working - you're falling way behind of average 8% inflation rates.
