Don't expect staff advancement - Anonymous employee Venable LLP Employee Review

HR doesn't know how to manage resources. They're stupefied by unusual or advanced skills and cannot leverage them at all. Not utilize them poorly - simply not at all. Advancement is non existent at the staff level - unless you happen to be white and male. Firm is very much so a "good ol' boys club." Hard work is given the same respect as someone who plays Candy Crush or talks football all day.
