What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
Too late to fix the people there now. Start over. Create a review board and hold the bad apples accountable.

What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
The firm has many skeletons in their closet (embezzlement, sexual harassment, malpractice). Double standards, one set for attorneys and another set for staff. Work place sex, infidelity and adultry. Water cooler gossip about clients and staff. No confidentially. Too many chiefs and not enough Indians. Backstab to get ahead. Terrible place to work.

What did you not like about this institution?
Bad management exerts pressure to meet bollable quotas. Rain makers act like gods. Rules don’t apply to timekeepers. Sexual harrassment and misconduct. Managers sleeping with staff.

People, departments, offices, products, services and whatever comes to mind that should be avoided at this institution
All Practice Group Chairs are egotistical and arrogant. Female attorneys can sleep their way to the top. Male associates are treated like whipping boys.

How could this employer run its business to employees or the public better?
Lunch left overs, Christmas bonus, sell back unused time off, illicit sex, goid hossip, spiders everywhere. Free legal advice. River side.

What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
Hold attorneys to higher ethical standards. I don't care how much money they make the firm, they're despicable people. The firm is highly morally corrupt.

What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
Toxic environment. Attorneys harass staff, sexually and otherwise. Attorneys are treated as if they are Gods. Attorneys with drinking and drug problems are kept while staff are let go for working to many hours. This place is topsy-turvy and toxic to the soul.

What did you not like about this institution?
Hateful, disgusting attorneys who treat their staff worse than gum stuck on their shoes. Sexual harassment. Verbal harassment inside and outside of the office. Attorneys who are belligerent.

People, departments, offices, products, services and whatever comes to mind that should be avoided at this institution
The partners mainly. They are self-righteous pricks who sleep with younger associate attorneys and harass secretaries. They are the ones who make the most money for they won't be fired. Someone needs to clean house

How could this employer run its business to employees or the public better?
Being in downtown Harrisburg. Walking on the river. Paid parking. Annual bonus. After hours parties. Working downtown near restaurants and bars.

What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
Get rid of Marcee. Best move you could make.

What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
If I could give this crappy place 0 stars, I would. I was so excited going on a new adventure. My first day I was told I wasn’t their first choice, and they were sorry they missed their chance to hire the other girl. Marcee Thompson is the most toxic high paid employee in the business office. After my first week there, she went out on medical leave and came back pissed off because I figured out the difficult job without her, being gone for weeks. They kept me for almost 5 years, and then laid me off. No notice, I cleaned out my office that afternoon with someone sitting in my office to make sure I didn’t steal a stapler. Petty, irrelevant law firm that people think is so prestigious. Not so much. They also let go a friend of mine after like 13 years of service because they found a way to do her job without having to pay someone. Carmen Santa Maria was my favorite attorney. Didn’t ever look down at me for being a lowly electronic billing coordinator.

What did you not like about this institution?
Management couldn’t care less

How could this employer run its business to employees or the public better?
The job itself I absolutely loved
