What market are you in? If there is a good job market, leave asap. That is a horrible work environment.
I agree with this assessment. Leave now ehile you still have some self-respect
I worked for a firm like this when I was just starting out and my advice is to leave. That is not a healthy work environment.
How small is your firm? We have 4 attorneys and some support staff, and we all get unlimited PTO. If you have a doctors appointment or your kid is sick you can just take off (granted one of the attorneys will always call me because he doesn't check is calendar).
How low is the cap? I know I'll tap out at ~$60K, but during a "bad" year I'll get a $2500-$3000 bonus.
The training thing is unfortunately common across a lot of industries, there was a point with my last 3 jobs where I just said fuck it and spend 20 hours constructing training manuals.
Why is the turnover due to the partner? I know some are highstrung and demanding and you just kind of have to deal with them, but if he's constantly rude it's not worth dealing with on top of everything else.
Sounds like several reasons to leave to me, starter firm or not.
Sounds like the small firm I work for. Except we don't get PTO.
