      Good People, Bad Management, Poor Compensation

      Pros

      The associates you work with are awesome, partners are pretty good (only a few unreasonable partners). Associates and senior counsel are very willing to help or answer questions.

      Cons

      Zero structured training, unreasonable lay-off decisions, management often times will force attorneys to take their previous year's compensation the next year, very uncompetitive salaries--way below market.

      You need to be interested in Real Estate only to survive

      Pros

      You can make decent money and work reasonable hours. The support staff is also very good. And the firm loves to eat and drink.

      Cons

      Partners will smile at you saying you are wonderful and have a strong future here while at the same time sinking your career battleship.

      To date, the best job I've ever had

      Pros

      -Very competitive salary and benefits, especially for a 24-year-old who was incredibly wet behind the ears starting out; -Started with 4 weeks PTO, increased after 5 years to 5 weeks PTO [although I doubt they still do that since the economic downturn]; -Extremely nice attorneys and staff overall, from the biggest rainmakers to the youngest associates cutting their teeth. Most of the "yellers" slowly left during my time there; -GREAT holiday parties; -I got a 6-week severance when they laid me off in '09. They usually didn't do severances at all so it was appreciated until I could find another job (which only took me 10 days... I was lucky).

      Cons

      My beef was not getting laid off. I've since been promoted and everything's gravy. My beef was getting laid off BEFORE a handful of extremely incompetent people. It came down to a numbers game, I know, but it stuck in my craw for awhile. That said, I really wish I could be a huge internet troll and flame them. But I have no regrets whatsoever about working here. Even the dreaded lay-off meeting was amicable (the office administrator was in tears when she told me).
