Pros

35 hour work week. Nothing else is positive.

Cons

Attorneys are allowed to bully, insult, swear at and demean the support staff and associates. The old school mentality is alive and well at Bodman. You will often work under highly stressful conditions (mainly because you are NOT told many details of the assignment or matter and expected to get it done as fast as possible (or faster). The segregation between attorneys and staff is the worst I have seen at any firm. You will often have to put in extra hours but if it cannot be billed to a client, you will not be paid for your time. Files are disorganized and the computer system (and other equipment) is decrepit and breaks down often.
