Good Pay - Litigation Paralegal Marks & Harrison Employee Review

Good place to work and nice people

Growth opportunities seem limited but job is loyal

I have worked at Marks & Harrison for many years and have learned so much in that time. Also in being here, you meet others who have been hired from other similar Firms. While the job title can be the same, the job requirements can be a bit different depending on where you are. With Marks & Harrison you learn a lot more to become a well-rounded personal injury paralegal. Whether you are in pre-lit or lit, you learn every bit of your job from beginning to end. In the beginning, it can be overwhelming for someone coming in without any background, but as time goes, you seem to learn more than at other personal injury Firms. Some Firms do have other departments that can assist in working a case, but it also means you don't learn how to fill in the gaps, connect the pieces, or get a full understanding of how to do every part of your role. As far as the environment, as with any company, the more people there are, the more personalities there are. Since there are many attorneys and branches, there are opportunities to find your fit. Different attorneys have different leadership styles, what works for one person may not work for another. There is a good mix of paralegals that have been at this Firm for the long haul, as well as newer ones just getting started. Theres a great mix of experience and backgrounds which can benefit when you have questions. I have made extremely good connections and friendships with coworkers, and I have worked for attorneys that I feel respect me and truly care. If you work hard for them, they work hard to also support you.

There are different experiences based on who you work for and with. You make work well on one team but not on another.
