Pros

Benefits, Salary and vacation time were generous great! Most of the people out of my department were nice.

Cons

My Manager expected us to be logged into the system when not at work and told us that when we take a weeks vacation our vacation did not start on Friday at 5pm but on Monday at 7am and ended that following Friday at 5pm. My manager expected us to be working all the time even when not on the clock. They were also pushing the LBGQT on everyone forcefully. I'm all for openess and peoples rights, but don't force it on people.

Pros

Great clients, interesting and challenging work, colleagues who I truly enjoy working with, and a lot of autonomy to develop my practice at my own pace and timeline. I appreciate that they don't force us all into the same trajectory or mold.

Cons

Sometimes the hours get crazy, but I think that's par for the course in litigation, and the hours never seem as bad as what my counterparts are dealing with.

Pros

Pay is good, benefits are strong, and PTO is decent.

Cons

It felt quite unsupportive, with management that didn’t provide much guidance or stability. Expectations changed often, which made it hard to stay on track or feel settled in the job. There also seemed to be frequent turnover in the team, which added to the sense of instability and made the workload feel more inconsistent and stressful.
