“I usually show up happy and I leave even happier” – Ali
My name is Ali Arrington, and I am the Client Liaison and Business Administrator at Adam Leitman Bailey PC. I do a lot of reception work, handle administrative duties, and also assist in the marketing department, particularly with Instagram and PR-related tasks.
My day-to-day typically starts with me coming in a little early to make sure everything is running smoothly. I walk around the office to ensure everything is in good shape. Once the day begins, I take calls, seat clients, and aim to keep the team in a good mood when they pass by my desk.
Everyone here is pretty close, and I’m not afraid to ask anyone for help. When I came into this position, I wasn’t expecting to make friends, but I’ve totally experienced that. I feel fortunate because it has allowed me to also have a good social life, which makes coming to work a pleasant experience. The friendly atmosphere is an added bonus.
At some companies, you may feel hesitant to approach your boss, or they may seem unapproachable. I don’t feel that way with Adam. I feel comfortable popping into his office and asking the most random questions. He entertains it and seems genuinely interested in having a conversation and getting to know you. That shows me that he cares about what we think and how we feel, which isn’t always the case with bosses. I feel lucky to have that here.
My interview process was great. I first sat down with Ashley and Marina, who was in my position before me. We talked about various topics, from working out to how things run in the company, and I could already tell it would be a good fit. Marina and Ashley made me feel comfortable right away. After that, I met with Adam, and we talked for a while. He then gave me a tour of the office and explained what I would be doing. The interview was long in the best way, and I thought that was a good sign.
My favorite benefit is definitely the Equinox gym membership. When I moved to New York, I always wanted an Equinox membership, but it wasn’t very accessible. Here, they make it accessible, which is amazing. Many people at the firm already go to the gym, so it’s nice to join workout classes with co-workers. Plus, the fridge is always stocked, and we celebrate birthdays with cupcakes and sometimes have luncheons or dinners. It’s a great way of showing that we’re appreciated.
I encourage everyone to come try out Adam Leitman Bailey PC because that means I get another friend, and it’s just a great place to work. I usually show up happy and leave even happier!
