Nepotism, harassment, and abuse galore - Patent Agent Polsinelli Employee Review

Think you can get ahead here? Unless you’re related to your boss, expect to be abused, overworked, wages withheld, lied to, and taken advantage of every single day. Working here was the worst decision of my life. I was promised a full time job with a 95k salary when hired. They kept me at part time at $20 an hour for over a year, gaslighting me and abusing me all while giving my unskilled, inexperienced coworker (who was only hired because she was dating the boss’ son) special treatment and full time pay. I was working 60 hours a week while only being paid for 20 of those hours. My boss told me that the only skill I had was being a pretty face for clients to look at. HR was virtually useless. They paid me a pittance of the wages they owed me and my boss, to my knowledge, suffered zero consequences. If you are a woman and do not come from a privileged background and can benefit from nepotism do not work here.
