Pros

Century City location; nicely appointed office spaces (well-lit & modern); Friday breakfasts; several very memorably nice co-workers

Cons

Arrogant litigation attorneys: one partner, in particular, openly disparaged his secretary of 25+ years to his underlings within my (unacknowledged) presence; bullying secretarial staff members ("pow wows" anyone?); otherwise dismissive, disrespectful co-workers; grossly unprofessional HR admin. whom I understand has since been replaced & moved onto another, smaller firm
