    Stressful, lots of unpaid overtime, micro managed by lawyers.
    The good thingsThey participate in days dedicated to charities; RUOK, Cancer Council morning tea etc
    The challengesToo many inappropriate people, HR plays favorites and support staff are seen as lesser and the least important employees.

    Adelaide SA 50001 to 2 years in the role, former employee
    A great insight into the area of law I was interested in. But I would not work there again.
    The good thingsGood area of law, enjoyed a modicum of autonomy, some of the staff were lovely.
    The challengesSneaky additions after I joined the company. Started working for two people at commencement - a hefty workload - then tacked on another about 3 months in. Then, 6 months after that, I was given another person to work for and they were in another part of the building and this was the last straw. I was constantly going from pillar to post trying to please these people and ain't nobody decent has time for that. HR manager was sneaky and often did things behind my back - another reason for leaving.
