Taunton not a pleasant office to work in.

Associate

Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive salary and healthcare benefits.

Cons

I felt the partner above me was struggling with the workload and I quickly lost confidence in their ability to manage the team. I felt the partner / legal director of the team used bullying / mobbing tactics to make for a toxic working environment. Not a pleasant place to work.

Pros

Nice team but they do not care about their staff, the managers are cut throat and useless

Cons

They will lie to your face, tell you you're doing a good job then stab you in the back. They will cut your probation and pull the rug, they will tell you it wasn't you or your fault but then blame your level of exp when you made them aware of your level. There was no work for months. They lied and said it was my experience when the workforce would send out emails daily to ask for work which never came. They say it was my exp, I say they hired me and work dried up and couldn't justify having me and paying my wages. Don't waste your time, don't even bother with this low tier law 'firm`
