Pros

Genuinely nothing. Please save yourself the mental anguish and do not work here.

Cons

Everything. Upper management is a joke and the partners don’t care about staff. Favoritisms rules in this company and if you’re not white or Jewish you most likely won’t succeed there. It’s a revolving door, too many people are leaving and the work load is unrealistically difficult. Some people are allowed to go on vacations while staff can’t so much as even breathe without getting in trouble. God forbid you need to take a day off. The drama, passive-aggressiveness and aggression from management makes everyday life miserable. They are too preoccupied with unnecessary things and avoid actual issues that face the office. They let terrible employees get away with too much. Competent employees will get paid a barely liveable NYC wage while useless, toxic employees will get compensated too well. I don’t know how they’re still in business.

Pros

it’s a job and a paycheck. Quality of work and life depends on office location.

Cons

The New York office sees many people come and go, because they do not value their employees. I’ve seen new attorneys leave after a couple days because the environment here is so… bad. A few kind people here but the ones who ‘matter’ will treat you as if you are beneath them. The attorneys don’t care for you, stingy resources, there is no training, there is a lot of drama and negative energy. there is an employee here who will track when you come and go from break, blame you for mistakes, it’s terrible. Take the risk if you want.
