Flexible work from home with helpful management - Reporter Kentuckiana Reporters Employee Review

Fair hours, supportive staff, good PTO policy (although the initial amount given is not too generous)

Hours can vary from normal and even cut into evening. If you have evening plans you have to let scheduling know just in case. It's rarely an issue, though. Strict dress code, no visible tattoos.

I enjoy not being stuck in an office all day. My coworkers are almost all lovely people who I trust more than any management.

Those 5-star reviews must be fake, because I’ve never met anyone who likes their job here. You have to give a two week notice if you plan on being sick (??) or you might not get your sick time approved. They’re not really flexible with reports in the scheduling department. To be fair, the schedulers are also overworked and underpaid, so I understand their frustration. Upper management, on the other hand, does get such grace. They are fully dedicated to the grift. They send digital reporters to jobs where a stenographer is requested and say “the lawyers don’t understand the difference, they just want a transcript.” And boy do we create the WORST transcripts! I’m embarrassed that my name is attached to them. You’re encouraged to lie pretty regularly. You may have to wake up at 5am to get to a proceeding in another state, but you are trained to say that you didn’t travel very far. Furthermore, while this is a national company, they split each state under different names and you’re supposed to lie about which state you’re in when you’re in a remote proceeding. Doing a Zoom deposition for a case in Ohio? You’re in Ohio. Next day, a Zoom deposition in Nebraska means you now live in Nebraska. This lie makes it easy for lawyers to think they’re hiring locally when, in fact, they are hiring yet another slimy big-box company.
