Pros

Colleagues and staff are top notch and there a very few weak links in the chain. You may not get this kind of consistent quality anywhere else.

Either you are a partner or you are not. You will be reminded of your status every day. The culture can be stifling.

Advice to Senior Management

You are becoming slaves to your comp and Am Law ranks. It's time to re-think the tired business model and treat your talented people more fairly.
