The good reviews are fake - Anonymous employee Consumer Law Group Employee Review

Hello, please accept this response to “The good reviews are fake” review posted by an alleged current employee. The purpose of this response is not to attack anyone that wishes to express a point of view. This response is intended to stand up against false and defamatory allegations. I can assure you that any review posted on this reputable website is a legitimate review from our existing and former staff. Anyone interested in joining our team is welcome to meet us to see the professional and family environment fostered at Consumer Law Group, LLC (CLG). If joining one of the most exciting and fastest growing law firms in Illinois motivates you, I suggest that you contact CLG right away. To the alleged current employee: your comments are simply false. In response to the accusation that anyone would be "bullied" into writing a review, well that is not only false, but comical. The actual bullying comes from your false allegations that seek to harm CLG’s reputation. It is well known that any CLG employee’s success is quickly recognized and rewarded. Our employees regularly receive generous bonuses for their hard work. Your comment about “a hostile work environment,” is false: CLG encourages any employee with any concerns to approach our Human Resources department without fear of reproach. In response to your accusation that “sales run[s] the office”, that statement could not be further from the truth. The truth is that everyone at CLG works as a team, regardless of job function. And, any great company is bigger than any one person or any one department. CLG’s employees help each other regularly because CLG’s employees pride themselves with comradery. CLG’s attorneys turn away a very high percentage of the people that walk through our doors seeking legal assistance for various reasons. Although CLG would love to, CLG cannot help everyone. You will not find a more honest, compliant, ethical, and forward-thinking law firm. Your allegation that “taking time off for illness or emergencies is frowned upon” is also false. CLG has a great paid vacation policy and CLG also offers paid time off for illness and emergencies. In fact, CLG recently had three employees take lengthier paid vacations. While they were out enjoying their vacations, our amazing team of professionals pitched in and helped out to make sure that CLG’s excellent customer service and diligence remained steady. At the end of the day, the employees that took time off had a great time, returned to work refreshed, and CLG welcomed them back with open arms. As to your comments regarding hours, CLG employees work hard, that much is true. But, our employees work hard and long hours because they care about their clients and they pride themselves on the work they do. CLG also prides itself on creating a work environment where employees actually want to come to work each day. No one should dread coming to work each day, and CLG has done a great job creating and maintaining an environment where employees look forward to going to work each day. That alone, is one of the best benefits CLG has to offer employees. In the very slim chance that you are an actual and “current employee” as you so allege, I would welcome the opportunity to sit and have an honest conversation with you about your career at CLG. Additionally, keep in mind, if in fact you are this unhappy you are free to seek employment elsewhere. CLG’s positive culture is evidenced by the success of our current team and benefits offered. Our employees have all experienced tremendous opportunity at CLG, financially, academically, and intellectually. Our employees that excel with CLG are indisputably paid more than their peer groups. Our team of professionals handle complex cases in areas of Family Law, Criminal Defense, Personal Injury, Labor Law, and Immigration Law, among others. Our attorneys receive weekly and monthly bonuses regularly. Employees tend to stick with CLG for years because they are happy and pride themselves in being part of the team. I hope this clears up any false impressions anyone may have had about CLG. Unfortunately, glass door’s policies prevent us from listing specific employee identification online. However, if anyone is interested, feel free to contact CLG directly to schedule a time to meet our team of Managing and Associate attorneys. I can assure you that our employees will stand by any positive reviews you may find.
