Pros

Get to work on cannabis companies (public and private)

Cons

I don't know....where to begin. Entry-level associates are not offered training, so Senior Associates through Directors are doing associate-level work, leaving associates no room for professional growth. Engagements therefore are "top-heavy", and Partners wonder why jobs are always over-budget. The firm only goes after home-run clients, but clearly none of them watch baseball because they don't know how to overcome strike-outs, nor do they know the concept of at least getting on-base. I've seen Fortune 100 CEOs host live chats/webcasts, but in the time I've been with the firm, the CEO never hosted any (just emails sent by his EA). Work-life balance is terrible; I've been parents and those with personal issues get no slack and were still expected to work weekends and take calls late at night, on a whim. I personally had to get a second phone just to tune out the work noise.
