Pros

-Benefits were decent -Sometimes felt like you were making a difference when coming to work -Working remote really took off after covid -Snacks in the break rooms -Great personalities to work with everyday.

Cons

-The pay is absolutely terrible and not competitive in any market that you're in. Did you know that the firm also hasn't given out raises in over two years? They furloughed and fired NUMEROUS high-quality employees during the covid pandemic, slashed pay by 15% yet continued to hire 3-4 partners PER MONTH over that period of time. They have no problem cozying up to every social movement out there, but when it comes time to paying people an honest wage for honest work, they fall flat on their faces. -Being one of the many woke companies out there, they cozy up to every social movement under the sun yet one of their executive officers taunted and mocked a subordinate, to their face and in a group setting of said person's peers, about their perceived faith. HR knows about this, yet this pathetic excuse of a C-level officer still remains on the payroll. -Really enjoyed doing the job of 7 other people at the firm while only getting paid for doing my own. So rewarding. -Nobody directly supporting the attorneys (i.e. paralegals and LAA's) are challenged to grow their skillsets, particularly when it comes to anything technology-related. I feel so bad for this firm's clients and how much extra money they dish out because this firm refuses to hold its support staff accountable and does not care to train them on how to be successful with technology. It is only going to continue to get worse as technology becomes more and more weaved into the legal profession.
