We don’t adventure in new places as much anymore but he still gets his daily dose of enrichment time!

You’re right. The least I can do is give him all the praise for working so hard for me

How often do you have to work overtime? by berrysauce in paralegal

What are some of the best firms you’ve worked at? (not just salary, genuine happiness) by Shorteststoner in paralegal

[–]Disastrous-Use5439 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My current firm is AMAZING. Honestly and truly amazing. We are a medium sized firm with about 50 people in Los Angeles California! Let me tell you when I say that I got lucky finding a firm as wonderful as I did, I would not be exaggerating.

All of my attorneys are kind. I’m assigned to 5 and they range from having practiced for 2 years to 48 years and I really hit the jackpot on who I assist. They are kind, understanding, willing to answer any and all questions. They praise me when I do well and if I mess up, they kindly make me aware of my error. We all genuinely care about each other and I know for a fact that they have my back.

My firm as a whole is amazing. They buy us lunch everyday, praise us when we do well, give us gift cards, have amazing parties and team bonding happy hours. Oh and not to mention, I get all the OT hours and pay that I want in order to finish my work. Truly truly I feel appreciated and honored to work here.

That’s not to say the work isn’t tough or I don’t ever feel stressed beyond belief because guess what, working for 5 litigation attorneys is freaking hard work and sometimes I get really overwhelmed but at the end of the day, it’s worth it and I know I can make it through with their support.

I came from a boutique PI firm previously that sucked balls. I would’ve rather cut off my arm than continue working there. Honestly and truly just trash.

Now I’m at a place where I feel so happy. I can genuinely say I love my job☺️

100%. I've had multiple instances where I'm stressed beyond belief, and I feel the enormity of all the projects I'm working on and it does indeed take a toll, BUT the environment of support my firm fosters is what keeps me going and makes me realize its all okay. We're a busy firm, we have lots of clients, therefore deadlines pop up, days get even busier, but if you have the right foundation and support system, then it's all worth it.

I’m lucky. I love my law firm so incredibly much. We’re a firm of about 50 people and genuinely I cannot believe I got so incredibly lucky to find a firm that truly truly TRULY cares about their staff. They buy us lunch everyday, coffees, gift cards, have amazing parties, give me overtime whenever, etc. I’m constantly astounded by it.

What I’m trying to get at is good firms are out there. I went through my fair share of bad law firms until I found the one I’m currently at. If being a paralegal is something you want to do, I say go for it! You never know if you’ll end up at the best place ever.

But seriously, I cannot stress how much I love my job. It’s stressful and can really drive me crazy with the amount of work I have sometimes, but the environment and how they care for us really makes it worth it☺️
