Simon & Simon, PC

In my opinion, the business practices at the firm were unethical. You can google the document circulated by the PA Courts and do your own research on the public reprimand.
The manner in which they had us attempt to retain clients felt wrong. We were made to call them so often within a day that it felt like harassment, only to have their cases go virtually untouched and have them not speak to an attorney, let alone know who represents them, until it’s time for them to give their deposition. God forbid they fell into a specific category of client that was retained with no intentions of ever litigating the matter.  Even good clients became irate and problematic due to their legitimate frustrations of getting nowhere in communicating with anyone besides a case manager. The employees would bear the brunt of that frustration. If you have a high tolerance for being verbally berated by clients and supervisors alike, then you’ll probably be a good fit here. 
The work-home life separation was virtually non-existent, especially if you were on a team with mandated overtime. Despite the relative infrequency of being “on-call” (ie: every 4-6 weekends), we were told that we would only be compensated for minutes used on the company phone and not the additional time it would take to send emails, make spreadsheets, etc. 
In retrospect, the demands from management were toxic and absurd relative to how much you were actually being paid. 
Favoritism is the status quo throughout the firm. Promotions, higher pay, better opportunities, etc. were not necessarily merit based. I was very qualified for the position I was hired for yet forced to train significantly longer than necessary in light of the performance of peers hired after myself for reasons that are still a mystery to me. 
If I could do it over again, I would have rather held out for much longer waiting for a better opportunity than to have taken this job and let this place take any more time and enjoyment from my life than it already did.

Worst company to ever work for.  Borderline illegal practices, no respect for support staff, constantly under the gun for deadlines and workload, no career advancement.  When I was there, they did a sweep and took a portion of the employee's health insurance away because they considered them as outside employees working for another portion of the company?  You never know when you'll be fired if they had enough of you, but the job will drive you crazy.  Management is poor, and that is putting it nicely. Bad environment for your mental health.  A manager once called me an idiot in a meeting and I cried in the bathroom.  Compensation is nowhere near fair.  Vacation is only two weeks time, which I know is standard, but for the workload and volume you'd think they would be a little more generous.  

Simply ambulance chasers and nothing more.

I was with Simon for about a year, by far the worst job I have ever had. I would not recommend this place to anyone for a career and have turned a few associates away from this place for legal assistant. There is no room for growth, you are underpaid and overworked. The management is way under qualified and is never willing to help. The turn over is quick so you never know who you will be working with when you get in. If you are looking for employment, keep looking as this is not your stop.

This is a great firm to work for after graduating college, especially if you are interested in the legal field. There is ample opportunity to grow within the firm and hard work is recognized. The workplace is a very welcoming and professional environment that encourages you to do your best work. I would recommend this firm to anyone who is looking for a great opportunity in the legal field

The office space is nice, but overcrowded for employees. Favoritism runs HIGH. Management was ran by 2 sisters who wanted to be feared rather than respected. Disrespect is an every day thing in more ways than one, this place is the equivalent to prison, cameras on almost every inch of the ceiling in the work space. Pay is good, hours are standard, but there’s a lot of toxicity

Poor management. Awful work life balance. Unprofessional and disrespectful. Their reputation is so bad that when they post jobs they don’t even post their actual name they simply put center city law firm. I have had other jobs be skeptical about hiring me simply from seeing Simon and Simon on my resume. Their customer service and the way they treat their employees is uncalled for.

I had to leave because I did not like the way they handled their case load. we would harass clients into signing up, only to have the rest of the client case managers/attorneys not reach out to clients. they would call, very upset, and berate the case managers because they could never speak to someone about their case. often times cases were dropped months into their signup. it didn't feel right. it's not a sustaining business model. 

A very nice office and very organized employees. I would recommend this job to newly graduated college students. This is not a place to make a career. The client demographics are very hard to deal with when the tools are not forthcoming.

This office culture squeezes every usable ounce of your value as a worker before discarding you into the garbage heap.  They relocate you from the position you were hired into, with no warning or option to decline.  The management staff was incompetent at best, and downright nepotistic and cruel at worst.

I love having the opportunity to grow with the firm as it continues to advance. I have amazing colleagues that work very well with one another, while also having the opportunity to assist clients better understand how the court process works and provide thorough updates.
