You Should Not Dabble: To Succeed It’s All or Nothing
3 Star Rating
See reviews for Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick, LLP from attorneys and other legal professionals below.
2.0Former Employee, more than 3 yearsNot Worth ItOffice Services Clerk in Columbus, OHRecommendProsToo few and far between. The only upside that comes to mind is that I actually learned a lot, i.e. office machinery, interpersonal skills, pretty much basic understandings of how to work in an office. This was my first job out of college.ConsToo many to list. Simply not worth it.
5.Current Employee, more than 1 yearSo far, so goodFeb 9, 2022 - Associate Attorney in Tampa, FLRecommendProsGreat office culture (including book clubs, associate get togethers etc), reasonable billable hour requirement, great facilities, great tech, partners have been reasonable and supportive, other associates are not in competition with you, they have given market increases to all salaries across the board, and hybrid wfh.ConsAs most law firms are concerned the firms needs more diversity. I believe there are 3 attorneys of color in the Tampa Office of about 100 or so.
I currently work as a Legal Administrative Assistant and have found that my experience here varies greatly from others. While some staff members seem to be favored and receive better treatment, others, like myself, struggle to receive support from management. In fact, the management can be quick to throw employees under the bus and provides very little support
There should be more transparency in how pay is determined - people should feel like their efforts are being rewarded. Take more time to listen to employee concerns and complaints - there are some departments that are basically designed for just this reason that don't do a good enough job.
Benefits are solid. Most people are pleasant to work with and you are treated well around the office - office parties are great. Support staff seems to be dedicated. Work-life balance is decent, and the work itself is somewhat diverse, though you do work quite hard at times.
Certain levels of middle management do not seem to understand employee problems well; some people in HR have a similar issue. Pay seems to range a lot when comparing certain positions that should have similar pay grades - you might be unpleasantly surprised to learn what some other people make compared to you.
If you have a good attitude, you don't minds working hard, you understand people can be mean or grumpy anywhere at any time and are willing to take that on occasion, then you'll do great. Learn as much as you can at work, there is so much to learn!
Challenging place to work but rewarding. Best part of the job was engaging people in Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick, LLP. Good mixture of young and mature workers. Managers are very flexible with schedules. There are plenty of opportunities for career advancement. Pay and perks are good at this Law Firm.
The work is certainly good, and the people are nice, but they don't appreciate you being "ambitious" and they don't want you to ask for more work unless you take the first step.
Thank you.
