Very Supportive Environment - Contact Centre Adviser Office of the Public Guardian Employee Review

Do-gooder work for the government, great benefits and time off.

Government salary, emotionally-difficult stuff sometimes.

Serving the underserved Court experience

Low pay High caseload High turnover Little to no support from support staff The lawyers are the case management system - little to ability to delegate non-legal work to support staff because they either don’t do the work or know how to do the work commensurate with their peers in the private sector. Lawyers work for the support staff, not the other way around - you may be expected to stop doing your actual job to meet support staff demands. Little control over your schedule No perks No bonuses Little to no chance of advancement Office politics Bad building and office spaces Expectations to be support staff for other agencies and other professionals Highly reactive job - often scrambling at the last minute, playing therapist, and putting out fires Marathon court dates Sick building in an undesirable location
