Why
should I choose BSTZ over other firms?
BSTZ offers the best of both worlds; small firm congeniality coupled
with big firm stability. The work is challenging, offering our
employees excellent opportunities for career growth and development.
While each of our offices present unique opportunities for advancement,
the focus upon training and development at all levels in our organization
is a firm-wide initiative.
Does BSTZ offer flexible schedules?
Whenever possible, we try to offer our employees the option of
creating a work schedule that fits their lifestyle. Many of our
employees work flexible schedules. For example, legal assistants
and the attorney's they support can agree to a schedule that works
well for both of them. In certain departments, such as our service
centers (Office Services, Records and Reception) the ability to
plan coverage may affect our ability to approve flexible schedules.
Nevertheless, we will accommodate flexible schedules whenever
possible.
When will I become eligible for benefits?
Health, Dental, Vision and Life Insurance eligibility is the first
of the month following an employee's date of hire. There is a
three-month wait for eligibility in the 401(k) program and enrollment
is quarterly.
What is the review process at BSTZ?
In addition to the informal feedback that is given throughout
the year, formal annual reviews are completed during December
of each year. Areas reviewed include work quality, productivity,
dependability, knowledge and skills, initiative, cooperation and
teamwork. In conjunction with the review process, salary reviews
are also completed during December of each year. During the salary
review consideration is given to the employees years of experience
along with other factors such as workload, quality and complexity
of the work performed, cooperation with other departments, responsiveness
to overflow requests and the willingness to assist with the training
of more junior staff members.
Does BSTZ pay bonuses to staff?
It is the Firm's intention to give a year-end bonus to each employee
who has demonstrated exceptional performance during the past year.
What are the opportunities for advancement at BSTZ?
BSTZ has a long history of promoting from within. Many of our
current managers began their careers here as support staff members.
Typically, current openings are posted in each office and employees
who are excelling in their current positions are encouraged to
apply for positions offering increased responsibilities.
