Pros

Brand recognition within their translations services, their legal services division is still a very small player. The company likes to keep talented employees and will shift them around to other departments to try and find the right fit.

Cons

Management team is not experienced in running larger organizations and the are very disorganized. There are no rules of engagement or protocols in place, i.e., different rules for different offices. Sales reps are required to do accounting tasks like bill and collect from their clients -- commissions are not paid out until the full amount of the bill is collected. Most of their sales reps are on a draw so they'll entice you with a $70,000-$90,000 "base salary" that's actually a draw on higher commission %. Management does not track rudimentary KPIs. Poor use of Salesforce. Essentially, this is a pyramid scheme where "managers" (top reps that get promoted) get a team of reps to "manage" but basically they just get a % of their team's sales. Very few people in a leadership position actually have the experience and qualifications to lead or manage a group of people.

Pros

You can get this job without experience. Good training. Recruiters will love you because of how easy it is to poach from TP. 17 vacation days a year.

Cons

Low starting salary. If you don't have Relativity or ESI Processing experience, 40k or less. You get one raise a year, and it is in MARCH. NO transparency- at all. They block Glassdoor. The idiots are paid too much, and the smart people are paid too little. The benefits and 401k is an absolute joke. Maximum of 1.5% match of your salary, and you only vest 20% after two years. Many holidays not observed No structure / clear expectations
