- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Good benefits, but no big difference than any other firm. Attorneys get the bulk of the full use of the benefits. There are good people and good perks like pantry items.
Cons
During coronavirus and remote working, paid all staff a one time bonus. Thought this was firm's appreciation for us using our own equipment and resources for their benefit, but then they decided the day before payday to withhold already accrued overtime. They said the bonus should cover overtime already earned, but not everyone did overtime and still got the same amount in bonus. Therefore you go the extra mile, and you're given the shorter end of the stick. Will contact the DOL once this is over. Partner secretaries seem to get the better "fringe" benefits and they have the poorest skills. They are always passing off their work to other departments and when returning it to their assigned attorneys, they claim they did it. Some associates are very high maintenance and don't know the definition of teamwork. Compensation is not all that compared to other firms. So those who are saying that salary is good obviously were very junior at their previous firms.
