Pros

Benefits aren't bad and you get free breakfast on Fridays, plus causal dress.

Cons

Incredibly toxic, unhealthy work environment. The only metric used to measure performance is about of hours sitting and staring at your computer screen -- they do not care about efficiency at all. You'll get massacred for leaving at 6 even if you're doing twice the amount of work in a day than someone staying until 9 or 10. It is a weird, let's stay here as long as we can no matter what and have no life type culture. People legit brag about how often they eat dinner at their desk. Gross. Upper management is pretty awful. They don't care about paralegals, so they try to squeeze as much out of them as they can before the paralegal breaks and leaves. Your boss will regularly speak negatively about you (they do this to virtually everyone aside from a select few) to your coworkers, which creates a toxic, gossipy, high school like environment. Their feedback has been unhelpful or hostile (could qualify as bullying in my opinion) and is sometimes done in a public situation, where boss will call you out for a perceived mistake in front of several colleagues.

Pros

GREAT atmosphere in the Sac office. Everyone is congenial, polite, and friendly. Great pay and atmosphere.

Cons

Very stern on 3 days in office policy, even if staff is sick. Also PTO and sick time are in the same bucket.
