There is no such thing as a work-life balance. Yes attorneys at first might work long hours however they do not only get paid $45k a year and the odds of a bonus or raise coming are non-existent here. I left this job and found another one where I am able to make 24% more and it is in retail management! Management would ask employees what can they do to help streamline the process to make the job better. But they never listened to any suggestions or lightened the work load. Instead the work required increased because a lot of medical records staff (left/fired?) therefore the salaried attorney was just given more work to perform instead. Additionally upper management actually stated attorneys were the only capable people to get medical records. How about hire more intelligent people in those roles if you think they aren't competent enough to perform simple tasks. There is no such thing as a sick day with this job, you either have to plan it out in advance or end up working on the weekend to just catch up, even though you are constantly behind because more work is being thrown your way. I thought it would be a good job because it came with healthcare (which you have to wait 90 days for) I should have kept my previous job with a solo-practioner instead and bought my own health insurance. It is not worth your effort or time to work/interview here.
