Paralegal Job Description?
Body:
<div class="NTForums_Quote">Posted By n/a on 07/25/2008 01:55 PM<br>I almost forgot about vacation and benefits. <BR><BR>I work M-F 8:30 a.m. - 5:30 a.m. I rarely work weekends, and, if I do, it's to make up time missed during the week, or if I'm really behind on a project. <BR><BR>I do get full benefits (excluding vision), which has been a lifesaver. I have only worked at my job for 8 months, so I've only had 5 days of paid time off. I think after one year I will have one week's vacation, but I'm not sure. My boss is flexible to a point about me leaving early or coming in late. As long as I make up my time and don't take advantage of her generosity, then all is well. The firm as a whole is very family-oriented (the majority are married and/or have children), so the attorneys understand if someone's child is sick (of course, this can cause some resentment if there is a big project they need the paralegal to work on, but generally nothing is said). Everyone pitches in if someone is out, anything to get the work done. We also get paid holidays and a really great Christmas party. I started this job mid-December and got a decent bonus. The firm also hosted an engagement party for an associate and his fiancee a few months ago, and they spared no expense! :)</div><br><br>
