Pros

After being there 20 years, it's funny (not funny) because I'm having trouble coming up with anything. I guess one thing would be, they care about their employees (to an extent) -- helping them out in times of need or tragedy.

Cons

I know, since I have left, that they now require you to punch a time clock. But, while I was there, I guess I was pretty happy - until they decided to use Covid19 as an excuse to cut about 10 of their to secretaries. I know this review will probably not be posted, but that really puts a bad taste in my mouth. At least 10 of us had been there from 15-40 years, and they just put us out on the street.

Pros

The pay is good. I had a wonderful pair of mentors while working here, who cared about me as a person as well as a professional.

Cons

Newer partners continued to act like associates, giving away very little of their work for fear of not having enough. This made it hard to get additional work in slow times. The partners had consistent workloads, but the associates had a very small number of people who would actually provide work which made the amount of work available extremely unpredictable, instead of having multiple faucets pouring work in the associate bucket, it was really one or two partners only.
