Dennis, Corry, Smith & Dixon LLP

What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
Get Grant some therapy. The mood swings, belittling conduct, and general toxicity will always make this firm a bad place to work.

What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
Honestly very little. You can develop a sense of comradery with your other co-workers having to deal with the dysfunction, but they're likely to cycle through.

What did you not like about this institution?
The whole place walks around on eggshells trying to avoid upsetting Grant Smith. Traffic due to the battery can be challenging to deal with. There's an "everyone but the two named partners are easily replicable" attitude that permeates everything. Staff reports that there is a mean girl vibe with the senior paralegals.

People, departments, offices, products, services and whatever comes to mind that should be avoided at this institution
Not to beat a dead horse, but avoid Grant Smith.

How could this employer run its business to employees or the public better?
Treat attorneys and staff with basic human decency, acknowledge that management is the source of the dysfunction, and try to improve rather than operate as a human meat grinder.

Full time

What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
My advice for the management is to treat employees with respect, give them more responsibility and give them the freedom to be creative in their work. Allow room for promotions and climbing the ladder.

What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
We have taco Tuesdays when we celebrate a good week worth of work, which is pretty satisfying and a big morale boost. We regularly get training opportunities and can learn a lot.

What did you not like about this institution?
The worst has to be just that the management is not very respectful. They don't look at us as equals at all but rather as inferior workers who don't know any better. There is also no room for promotions.
