Appreciates the employees!
Legal Assistant (Current Employee) - Akron, OH - December 11, 2021
Indeed Featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedI feel very appreciated at KNR. The business celebrates us with monthly birthday lunches, social media spotlights and fun events throughout the year. The turkey giveaway is my favorite event because the firm gives back to the community in such a huge way and no other business does that!
Pros
Free lunches, monthly marketing events, dress down days

Pay is very low.
Paralegal (Former Employee) - Toledo, OH - December 19, 2021
This company makes a lot of promises to their employees that it does not follow through on. During my tenure there, my salary decreased because they took away profit sharing and bonuses and stopped giving annual raises. I spent years there and during my exit interview I expressed my frustration and was told that there was nothing HR could do and the partners would rather hire someone new than pay a senior employee what they deserve.
Pros
Casual dress
Cons
They take advantage of hard working people.

December 20, 2021Thank you for sharing your feedback. It is unfortunate you feel this way, as we pride ourselves on being transparent with all matters, including pay. KNR, like most of our communities, was impacted financially by the pandemic. However, with resilient and supportive team members we are on our way to recovery and were recently able to reward many of our team members. In addition to compensation, KNR continues to be a great place for those with a desire to help others, and our clients. Our team offers volunteer time off for community involvement and, in addition to PTO, we offer earned time off and will be implementing floating holidays in 2022. KNR also offers flextime, monthly birthday lunches, holiday bonuses and celebrate many fun holidays all in nice office setting. We provide training for many of our positions and promote from within whenever possible. While your experience did not seem to reflect these key areas, we do thank you for your sincere thoughts. We wish you the very best in future endeavors.

Productive and fun work place
Intake Specialist (Current Employee) - Fairlawn, OH - November 30, 2021
I recently started working here but I already feel comfortable. At first, everything is daunting but the trainers and managers work with you. Even other employees will help if they notice you’re having a hard time. Since I’m part time my days are short and I’m able to do other things, and before I know it it’s time to go home!
Pros
Short days, good pay, friendly coworkers, manageable workload
Cons
No Holiday pay if youre part time but can earn PTO

KNR CARES! Rewarding, Exciting and Extremely Caring Company to work for!
Litigation Paralegal (Current Employee) - Columbus, OH - November 4, 2021
Cannot say enough about this company. Not only do they offer competitive pay - they give more perks than any other company I know, from extra days off/extra PTO hours, floating holiday of your choice PTO, birthday lunches, fun contests and holiday celebrations, ability to attend a doctor appointment and not use your PTO, constant support from ALL staff….the list goes on. KNR Cares about the Community and goes out of their way to show it even paying employees to volunteer. Not only do they care about the Community…they care about their employees and I cannot say enough about how grateful I am. I work for one of the best Managers I’ve ever worked for, one of the best Attorneys I’ve ever known - your hard work does not go unnoticed.
Pros
Too many to list! LOTS of perks, free lunches, contests, and extra time off, great co-workers, amazing Managers and the best Attorneys

Healthy work/life balance
Receptionist (Former Employee) - Remote - August 9, 2021
I was never expected to put in extra hours or give any of my free time up to keep my job. I loved the emphasis they placed on employee well-being, especially mental health and stress. It’s good to see a firm putting actual effort into this.

I have nothing but good things to say about Kisling, Nestico & Redick. I’ve been in this industry for years, and it’s one of the few firms I’ve seen that goes out of its way to not only keep their clients satisfied but also their employees. You’re rewarded for all the hard work you put in and your contributions are always acknowledged.

Not bad
Intake Specialist (Former Employee) - Fairlawn, OH - July 14, 2021
This job was my first time working in the legal industry, and although it was a little daunting at first, all of my coworkers were extremely helpful.Overall, they were a really nice group of people to work with. They offered help and advice when I needed it and took a step back when I understood my role and expectations. Management was always accessible, and I never felt intimidated or condescended to.All things considered, they’re a good firm and one I would recommend to others.

My experience at KN&R
Attorney at Law (Former Employee) - Remote - July 12, 2021
I can’t speak to anyone else’s experience, but mine was nothing short of wonderful. I grew exponentially in my career, learned more about my craft, and honed my skills as an attorney. Each of the firm’s partners was a huge support for me in a different way, and I’m grateful for all of their guidance and advice.

Great group of people
Anonymous (Former Employee) - Remote - July 6, 2021
Run by the friendliest group of people you’ll ever meet! Everyone I worked with came to work with a smile on their faces. Anytime I had a question or needed help with anything my co-workers were more than willing to help. Upper management made themselves accessible and were approachable.

October 18, 2021KNR works to consistently improve our culture, and reassurance that the little things really do make an impact is encouraging to hear! We genuinely appreciate your feedback!
The pay is unbelievable
VERY competitive pay. They quoted me a higher starting salary than any other firm I’d applied to work at. There were other factors that went into my decision, but I’d be lying if I said that wasn’t the main one.

July 6, 2021Thank you for sharing your perspective. We do compensation reviews and adjust to market data where needed, but it is refreshing to hear that there were also other factors and encourage you to continue consistent dialogue with your leadership. Thank you!
Most improved!
For those of us who have been here since the old regime, there is no comparison. Looking at old reviews is about as useful as asking someone who’s never worked here what it would be like. The firm has done a complete 180 when it comes to prioritizing employee satisfaction and happiness levels. The environment is more supportive in every way, and the level of respect shown to every single employee regardless of their position and it’s “monetary value” is laudable. If someone is falling behind on a case, we’re all there to pitch in to get them caught up. The new culture is all about teamwork. Whereas before it was much more an “every man for himself” mentality. The firm offers full benefits (health, vision, dental, PTO, etc.). It’s still a very fast-paced environment, but that’s what makes it so much fun. It’s challenging in a good way. I believe that growing pains are just a natural part of working at a law firm, and I’m happy to say we’ve found our way through them and are finally coming together in the best interests of everyone equally.

Low Pay, High Expectations, Unreasonable Goals
The only thing this company cares about is the bottom line and how they are perceived by the community. They don't pay their employees comparable to other firms in the area or care about employee well-being. The management is all about favoritism and setting unreasonable goals. The culture at this firm is demeaning and demanding, the benefits are minimal and not worth the cost.

Surprisingly amazing
Employee (Current Employee) - Remote - June 21, 2021
I never thought I would see myself working for a law firm, but here I am. I would be lying if I didn’t say my first few months were hectic. This company favors self-starters who don’t require a cattle prod to get stuff done. I’ve been pushed, challenged and driven to perform at levels I previously never thought I could. Sometimes it takes the right motivation (and good pay) to push you to go beyond your limits.

Good company resources
There are many company resources at your disposal. I enjoy the work but I could do without the volume. It’s the type of place where you’ll learn more by doing because you’re in the thick of it day in and day out. I don’t see myself doing this forever but I’ll stick with it for the foreseeable future.

Knowledgeable staff
Attorney at Law (Former Employee) - Remote - April 21, 2021
For all the firms I’ve worked at, this one impressed me the most. The experienced attorneys and staff are highly experienced. They really knew their stuff. They made great mentors and even better friends. I still talk to several of the friends I made along the way even after I left.

Not for some, perfect for others
Just like the title states, KNR is not for some but perfect for others. It’s a law firm after all. That means long hours, heavy caseloads, and frayed nerves from time to time. It can be chaotic and taxing on the mind and body. I thrive in these types of environments which is one of the reasons this firm attracted me. I enjoyed my time here but I know that others might be turned off by the demands of the job. Make sure you know what you’re getting yourself into prior to applying.

You’re rewarded for your hard work and dedication
Intake Specialist (Former Employee) - Remote - April 12, 2021
Hard work and dedication don’t go to waste. On the contrary it’s openly acknowledged and encouraged by upper management. This job allowed me to help as many people as I could. It helped me to feel good about myself in a world where everything feels like its been turned upside down.
