Unprofessional Environment This firm does not consider nor respect that most individuals in the profession are educated professionals who care about their careers. It is not a professional and collaborative work environment. Moral is extremely low among all levels of employees. There are no internal methods to, encourage, maintain or enforce productivity except for the few loyal sidekicks, who are also regularly berated, who spend much of their billable hours tracking your whereabouts (even though there is a sign out sheet), including how long you spend in the bathroom. Very unpleasant environment to have to spend 40+ hours a week. Benefits are substandard for the industry: - No vacation time for 1st year (1 week of vacation after 1 year, 2 weeks after 2 years) -5 sick days a year -5-6 paid federal holidays -401k after 1 year (but was never offered) -Only medical, no dental or vision insurance -Mandatory 30-minute lunch break between 12:30pm -1pm
