Pros

- Impressive office with a great canteen and a mass of free parking - Lovely staff who are friendly and make everyone feel welome - Supportive HR team who seem to genuinely care about their staff - Fantastic learning development team with endless training and support available I really enjoy working here and have been so impressed by everything so far. There is a lot of trust given to emplyees with agile and flexible working which is most appreciated and overall Michelmores feels like mature and sucessful firm to be a part of.

Cons

There is a really pleasant culture at Michelmores, however, it can sometimes feel as though you are being judged (by more junior staff) when leaving the office at a sensible time at the end of the day or taking a lunch break despite Michelmores promoting a healthy work life balance.

Thak you for the review. As you note, as a Firm we are really committed to promoting a positive work balance. We are continually looking at ways to further embed flexibility into our culture and your feedback is therefore really helpful in terms of identifying areas for us to focus on. We have a some firmwide social events in the calendar, including our annual firmwide quiz and late summer ball. There are also regular drinks events you can attend across our different offices and departments (eg Thirsty Thursdays every month in London). Keep an eye on the marketing diary and Firm intranet for other events coming up soon!

Pros

Nice office Some people are nice

Cons

- Poor training watching video are not interesting to learn -Manager treats you different if you are an admin vs a lawyer or legal support. - Some lawyer would treat you like rubbish because you only an administrator. - Some managers criticize everything, even when they can't be bothered to come to the office more than twice a week. - Low growth in company - Really low pay for all the jobs that have to be done.
