Pros
The new Manager lets you eat doughnuts at your desk. The fellow paralegals are all in the same boat, so it always felt re-assuring knowing you're not sinking on your own. You can use your commute time against your working time which means you can write off about 1 hour worth of for commuting purposes. When WPD use to visit, we were allowed to eat the leftovers. The name Geldards gets your foot through many a door.
Cons
They have a management team of like 6 solicitors, yet I'm still waiting for a response to my email from last December! Telling a member of the management team you're working over capacity is understood as you're not working hard enough. talking to colleagues is a crime. Completions are King. Asking for a raise is also a sin. The new manager has no legal experience so doesn't know who to allocate which instruction too. On the bright side, she's removed all the bins from under our desks as they were a fire hazard.
