Pros

Decent benefits and great coworkers

Cons

Leadership is horrible. Partners run accounts into the ground with not even a slap on the wrist, while support staff is hounded and overworked. Staff has been told not to take their full parental leave at once because they laid people off and need work done while the managing partner took his full parental leave when adopting a child. After several employees were laid off, a partner had her daughter hired by the company. Favoritism runs deep and opportunities are not given unless you suck up and work off the clock to keep up with their insane case work demands. Opportunities largely rely on what team you’re placed on.

Pros

Decent overtime pay. I also had a decent training/onboarding experience, but this was not the norm.

Cons

Exploitative, 80+ hour work weeks, 2am messages from attorneys, burn-out model for paralegals and associates (scoop them up after BA or JD and overwork them until they quit), misrepresent case load during interview by 50% of total, low ceiling for non-attorney career advancement. Have an exit plan.
