Jones Day Reviews

Lack of any of positive culture; some very difficult partners (depends on practice group but you will be miserable FAST) - there is a reason for the high attrition rate; firm has very conservative, traditional mentality and can feel behind the times; very little attention to associate development; no associate or women's committees and does not seem committed to women's issues (women's health coverage does not match peer firms); expensive benefits; does not invest in IT or otherwise provide tools facilitate to attorney productivity despite the expectation to be available 24/7; compensation less than peer firms due to no-bonus structure; firm nickel and dimes associates on costs that most peer firms would absorb If you have the option to work here, you probably have other options - take those instead. Hiring is a bait and switch.

Over the last 10 years many benefits and perks have been taken away. Upper management does not know what they are doing and they pretty much don't care about anything but themselves. They get raises but staff is always told that they are being "capped" due to the fact that their salaries have reached the max. There a few people who work with upper management that are nothing but drama and troublemakers. These few love to start rumors and throw others "under the bus". Servicing lawyers is not a priority any more and that is where they lose their credibility with most employees.
