Pros

People are generally quite nice. Benefits are good. Good training and business development opportunities/sponsoring.

Cons

Not much loyalty. Odd hiring practices have led to a slightly "different" culture that other law firms. Departments tend to be silo'd and a lot of looking out for #1 overall. LOTS of folks leaving the firm, which is not necessarily unique to Winstead these days, but isn't a positive either.

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.
