Legal Secretary at Bruno, Gerbino & Soriano
in Copiague, NY

Please give us a one liner to describe this review.

"A disappointing place to have to work in even though it has potential to be better."

What do you like about working at Bruno, Gerbino & Soriano?

"Diversified duties - kept busy - lots of people to interact with."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Get your experience there if needed and if you are happy there, then stay. If not, definitely move on. If you are a mature worker, sharp and experienced, expect the young crowd to start trying to push you around and the office manager and her assistant to ignore it or add to it. You will feel frustrated with it. High volume work, low pay and some disorganization."

What don't you like about working at Bruno, Gerbino & Soriano?

"Heavy work load and unreasonable pay. Low pay for mature, experienced women. Had to work with a few disrespectful assistants and secretaries, no true communication. It seemed to be a clickish, immature group of workers. Office manager catered to the younger crowd. For instance, the Christmas Party had very excessively loud rock and roll music (ear damaging!) and nothing at all for mature employees (people in their 50's and up). The music played all evening long and you could not hear yourself talk."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Smarten up - have a little more appeal and fairness for all employees. Better communication and organization. There seemed to be very high turnover at this place, even among attorneys. That is usually a sign of dissatisfaction's among employees. Also, the office seemed to collect too much money for non-profit agencies. Some collections are fine but not all year long. We are not banks - people need their money for their own livelihood and it is an imposition on their lives to ask constantly for contributions for every cause in sight. Enough is enough! Many of us give on our own once a year to a cancer fund or religious mission and that is all we can afford!"
