Kohn Law Firm Reviews

Pros

Great manager and supervisors. There is always work to do so your never bored and there is barely any down time for you. Minimal micro managing, They work with their employees when there are familial or personal issues going on outside of work. Free parking for long term employees.

Cons

Working late nights out the week

Pros

good benefits, good work environment, great work life balance

Cons

workload sometimes outweighs the staffing.

Pros

They have an employee designated to training paralegals, and is always available for questions. There is less stress not having the burden of figuring everything out on your own. This firm could be a good first job in an office setting, as you receive some guidance and tips that may not be obvious.

Cons

The tasks are not challenging and are very repetitive. In my opinion, it felt like a factory-you do a small part of a process over and over rather than a full process (like a conveyer built) and often need to fix the mistakes of others. If they start you above the lowest rate, most people reported not having a fair raise. Parking is expensive! They will not pay it until you hit four years. I believe they don't have the need for high quality workers, just good enough. They don't believe these jobs are worth a livable wage. High turnover. Not much talking allowed. If you do well enough with your tasks, my experience was they tend to keep people in those spots. Not much room to advance out of the categories unless you become a manager, where you would do more of a normal range of what an assistant typically does. Everything you do is highly monitored, not much freedom even after you prove efficiency long term.

Pros

consistent hours friendly staff business casual

Cons

unpaid lunch 9 hours days pay for parking every day have to learn a lot of information quick work benefits dont start until a year of working there

Pros

It's a job. It will feed your family. It's been 10 years since I worked here. This review is purely because Glass Door requires input in order to allow searches.

Cons

You'll be collecting debts. No matter what department, you're a debt collector. It brings in the kind of people who can either overlook that, or embrace it. Better be okay with being one of those two.

Pros

I've had a couple promotions in just a few years. My manager does a good job with feedback and letting me problem solve on my own. It's been good for my development.

Cons

The team keeps growing, so I've had to do a lot of training/cross-training.

Pros

Forgiving, understanding, and decent management, benefits

Cons

Parking, clientele, and sitting all day is not great

Pros

I've been with Kohn Law Firm for a bit over a year and it's been a great professional move for me. I've found the work-life balance much better than previous employers. The office is open 8am-5pm, so no nights/weekends/holidays. I think this was the first year I wasn't working the day after Thanksgiving and could actually enjoy time off with my family. Good office environment too, so I felt welcomed from the start.

Cons

I commute from outside of downtown, so of course that can be tricky at times. But I enjoy the downtown location and being so close to things to do after work or places to get lunch, so I suppose it evens out.

Pros

Good work environment if you put in effort they will show appreciation the I don’t have any issues with the co workers

Cons

Long hours, if you get placed on a ramp up queue you won’t really see much commission bonuses

Pros

My manager and all the attorneys I work with have helped me grow. Anytime there's something I don't understand, even something small like a vocabulary term that I'm not familiar with, they're all kind about it and will review it with me to help me learn more.

Cons

It's a lot of new information. I didn't have law firm experience before this, so it's been a lot to learn.
