What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Just stop micromanaging every aspect of every team and department in the firm. No one has any autonomy here.
Review from HR Dept
Communicating with and addressing operations in ALL departments - not just legal.
Review from Operations Dept
Provide clear goals. Don't run multiple large projects at the same time. Stop moving the target. Stop derailing projects that are almost done. Listen to your employees. It's great to be optimistic and positive but a reality check is needed at the highest level. Trust your experts to do their jobs.
Review from Legal Dept
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I'm doing the workload of at least two people, most of the work level I'm doing is far senior to my title, and I have peers being brought in with less experience and higher salaries.
Review from HR Dept
Bigger bonus, higher annual base pay
Review from Legal Dept
I work too much and I do not get paid enough. I am promised resources are coming but when? It's been years of being constantly understaffed. More and More people are leaving and more and more work get put onto myself and my team. BAL is not doing enough proactively to keep their staff.
Review from Legal Dept
I don't feel empowered to make decisions that benefit my team.
Review from Operations Dept
I believe it's hard to recruit top talent without a competitive salary. I've referred many attorneys to the firm, but the salary if far too low compared to competitors and their current firm.
Review from Legal Dept
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Everyone needs to pull their own weight and step up so that all the burden doesn't fall to a few top performers.
Review from HR Dept
Communicating better to be more productive as a whole.
Review from Admin Dept
Part of my team I love, however, many of the people in my office are closed off and cold towards new employees. I don't feel like many people have made an effort to get to know me or ask me about myself other than work-related inquiries. The vibe in the office is not warm and welcoming.
Review from Legal Dept
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
Give people time to do what you want and/or ask them to do. Managers with direct reports have too many meetings to also manage a caseload. Invest in existing technology

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
I just want to be paid fairly for the work I do, and I want to stop feeling like I'm the go-to person on the team to take on ever increasing responsibilities with no change long term to job/pay.
Review from HR Dept
All of the focus is on growth - nothing on keeping the foundation strong. We can't support you if we're falling apart.
Review from Operations Dept
More appreciation and flexibility for employees.
