Pros
The company name on my resume holds a lot of clout and I am grateful to be learning from many brilliant attorneys and working with so many dedicated and hard working staff members. Those people just mentioned are few and in between. I am grateful for every ounce of work that is placed on my desk and the sun-up to sun-down hours because for them my bills are being paid and my family is being fed.
Cons
I would never recommend a friend or a loved one to apply for a position on any level at Jackson Kelly, PLLC. The bad apples now outweigh the bright minds and motive can never be assumed. In all of my years of working, I have never seen such discrimination among partners and associate attorneys, attorneys and staff members, and even certain staff departments vs. each other. It is a daily battlefield; tension is high, forgiveness is never granted and gossip is ruthless. Once you are in this environment, your world shrinks, confidence escapes you and your mind dwells on the moment you were accepted into law school. This is not what law should look like. This is not how adults should treat other people.
