Wasted Potential - Anonymous employee GLP Attorneys Employee Review

This firm has potential to be a great place to work, but that opportunity is thrown to the dogs because of poor management and greedy partners. Staff are grossly underpaid when compared to other firms of similar size and caliber. When you don't offer competitive pay, you can't attract, hire, and retain talent, and that is a huge problem at GLP. Benefits get more expensive every year, which is a huge financial burden on employees. The staff are disgruntled because while they begging for decent compensation, the partners are out enjoying their private jets, private pilots, helicopters, boats, fancy cars, and out of state luxury properties. The turnover rate is astronomical. Favoritism runs rampant here. There are lazy, worthless, internet-surfing employees that have better job security and better pay than the hard workers, simply because they are office idols. The firm has no administrative management or HR department because their partners wouldn't dare surrender power to anyone. Employee concerns are not treated with the confidentiality they deserve and gossip is the status quo. Like any law firm, the associates do most of the work and the partners get all the credit. But the associates are ridiculously overworked and have unrealistic goals and expectations from the partners. The partners waste the associates' time by constantly holding long meetings to talk about cases when that time could actually be aren't working on them. Staff morale is low. Any reviews here that are four stars or above were written by marketing or the partners.
