Pros

Small firm feel with large firm resources. Dedicated, knowledgeable back office staff. 'Can Do' culture. Senior management is accessible and keeps staff informed of firm performance, major decisions.

Cons

The firm underwent a major (and costly) systems conversion in 2008. The 'new' system never lived up to the hype, and was widely recognized as a step backwards shortly after conversion. It was an insult to the hard-working and dedicated staff. The conversion was driven by cost savings. 'You get what you pay for.' Salaries are not competetive.

Pros

Stable work life balance. The culture is really great, very easy to work with complex management and managers. Willing to help you grow and learn with clients

Cons

Not a lot of room for growth unless you come in the door with that expectation. It can be very easy to get stuck in this role as your pay slowly increases and the job title mostly stays the same. Associate promotions and raises are rarely given and take a lot of coercion to get.
