The separation between staff and attorneys makes the work environment very unpleasant.

Pros

There are many great people at the firm, and I did make lasting friendships while employed there. Communication as a general rule was good, and the pay was average.

Cons

My direct manager was deceitful, and made empty promises. She also would not stand behind her employees in most any situation, as she was afraid of losing her job. She was only interested in saving her own skin. In addition, 90% of the attorneys were rude, conceited, and generally unpleasant.

Pros

When you first start it seems like it’s going to be a great place to work. They talk a good game and make you feel like you are working for a firm that cares.

Cons

In reality they couldn’t give two s&@$ about you or your family. Their training is TERRIBLE! They let the attorneys work remote but not the staff so it’s impossible to have questions answered.

Pros

At the end of the day, you will make friends through venting frustrations that are acquired if you take a position here.

Cons

List is too great for the small box given here. Thompson Coburn values it's clients and image above all else but could seriously benefit from hearing the needs of employees and not dismissing them unless they're part of the partnership.
