Other Perks
Unique work hours
Unlike many other law firms, we work a 36.5 hour work week, Monday through Friday, with no weekends, evenings, or overtime required. We also close an hour early on Fridays.
Most positions offer flexible work day start and end times as well as “Flex Fridays,” where working extra hours during the week can allow you to leave up to three hours earlier on Fridays.
Four-day work weeks are an option for some positions, including case managers, after 90 days of employment.
Pay increases and bonuses
Woods & Woods offers up to a 4% salary increase every year based upon your performance until your salary cap is reached. Once your cap is reached you will receive a yearly bonus based upon your performance.
There are also quarterly opportunities for company-wide bonuses as well as a guaranteed Christmas bonus handed out before Black Friday each year.
Fun committee and activities
Our Fun Committee organizes off-site activities from winery trips and happy hours, to family events like an Evansville Otter’s game or Holiday World. We also organize catered lunches for occasions like Mardi Gras, a Secret Santa gift exchange, Halloween costume contest, and an annual Field Day with games, tie dying, and food. You’ll also find a Bingo card on every desk waiting for the daily Bingo number announcement.
Casual atmosphere
If it’s not clear from our Fun Committee and work hours, we do not operate like a typical law firm. While we take the work seriously and show up ready to fight for our clients each day, we know it’s also important to get to know our coworkers, let off steam, and laugh at work. In addition to all this, our dress code is casual. You can even bring your gym clothes to work, as our office basement includes a full exercise area.
Work downtown
Our new office located in Haynie’s Corner in Evansville is within easy walking distance of Penny Lane coffeehouse, the Haynie’s Corner market, Spankey’s Una Pizza, Bokeh Lounge, and even a yoga studio. Spend your breaks walking around the area’s beautiful historic homes or take a stroll to the Haynie’s Corner fountain or Ohio riverfront. We are also just a short ways away from the many other great shops and restaurants downtown Evansville has to offer.
A Letter from the Boss
Hi, I’m Neil Woods. Someone once told me they “don’t want to work at a stuffy old law firm.” Everyone has heard how lawyers can be moody, rude, greedy, and worse.
Not at my law firm. When you walk through the firm, you’ll see staff smiling. We all spend way too much time at work to hate our jobs.
I understand why you come to work every day: to support your family. Woods & Woods is very family-friendly. I try to give my staff flexibility with their schedules and plenty of vacation days.
If you’re a happy and hardworking person, I fully encourage you to apply for a job at my law firm. I promise you will be treated with nothing but respect. There’s a reason why so many of my staff members have stuck around for years or decades.
If your current job is unfulfilling or you’re unhappy with your career, I can offer you something different.
Best regards,
Neil Woods
