Stroock – “Good environment, fair pay.”

Pros

Stroock pays about the same as other big New York City law firms. That being said, the pay, as compared to working in another type of environment, is very good. The attorneys I worked for were nice and generally appreciative.

Cons

As far as hours worked (as a legal secretary), it all depends on the attorneys you work for. I worked overtime about three times a month, usually for no more than two hours. But I did stay till 10 one night. One of the attorneys I worked for had a reputation as being hard to work for. All the other secretaries couldn't stand him. I got along with him well, after I learned that he had certain annoying traits that I had no power to change. Once I accepted the traits, it was fine.
