Pros

Condo/HOA law is an interesting little niche in the law that can be very fun to learn and interesting to talk about. The office itself offers casual dress, free snacks and sodas, free parking, and some great co workers. It's easy to get a job here. There is usually an office lunch once a month where you get pizza or salad or something like that.

Cons

I have no idea what the leadership in this place is thinking. The turnover rate is astronomically high. It appears to be in the neighborhood of 75% turnover annually, maybe higher. The result is that new people are always being brought on board, which means there is a training period and learning curve, and then just as soon as things seem like they are running smoothly, there's another exodus. It is the oddest business model I have ever seen. Salaries are grossly out of touch with the market. In order to keep good employees around, you have to do one of two things: pay them well, or treat them well (or, ideally, both). This place does neither, so it's not difficult to understand why there is so much turnover. It is a dingy, unfinished office in a weird neighborhood on Aurora Avenue and the parking lot is usually filled with garbage, dead birds, or abandoned furniture. It usually smells bad inside and out. The office culture is toxic and hostile. There is always one person who seems to have been designated the goat, and it's just a matter of waiting around until that person quits or is fired. Watching employees flee is demoralizing. A strangely large percentage of people who quit here do it without another job lined up first, which, in this economy, should be a big neon sign to the leadership that something is wrong, but it doesn't seem to be on their radar at all. This place thinks it is a leader in the community in this area of law, but once I left and talked to other lawyers in the community, it became obvious that the firm is not well regarded by other professionals.

Pros

I have been a practicing attorney for over 6 years now and truly appreciate this firm's approach to newly hired employees. Unlike other offices I have worked for which tend to train new-hires in the trial by fire method, Condo Law Group progressively educates its employees and the friendly staff is happy to answer any questions along the way; this prevents workers from feeling on their own or overwhelmed which can be very common in the legal profession. Also, work-life balance is a high priority for management, accommodations and employee needs are never ignored. The office provides excellent benefits as well as snacks/food and in-office massages twice a month; all of which instill that this is a firm that cares about the well-being of its employees. Unlike other offices where you start to feel anxious about the work week Sunday night, Condo Law Group provides a harmonious, amicable environment where no employee dreads coming to work Monday morning.

Cons

The evening commute towards downtown can be rough come 5 pm, however, the office allows for flexibility so if employees needs to come in and leave early for traffic reasons, this can usually be worked out.
