Pros

Earthjustice cares about its employees and the mission driven employees care about each other. An excellent place to practice public interest law.

Cons

Different culture per office, some offices work long hours. The managing attorney in each regional office seems to set the pace.

Pros

I really enjoy my job at Earthjustice. My team is always collaborating and is involved in a lot of diverse projects to bring the employees and stakeholders together in support of our mission. I am constantly learning on the job and getting involved in exciting projects. I learn a lot from my team members, which is key. The benefits here are also amazing, and they show that the company really cares about it's employees.

Cons

I have none at the moment.

Pros

It's a great concept on paper. This is really an environmental advocacy group run by lawyers who are generally passionate about an important cause. Some offices are probably more successful than others. Admittedly, some of that has to do with region-specific outside factors that cannot be controlled.

Cons

This is not the real world. Worked with people who lacked management skills but seemed to think their charisma and enthusiasm made up for that. Both the legal and administrative staff work the system, putting in hours but not getting a lot accomplished. A single brief would take five or more staff members weeks and weeks to prepare right up to the deadline--even when nothing else was on the calendar during that time. Too much time wasted on personal chitchat and coffee/ciggie breaks. They probably work 10-15 minutes for every hour claimed. Attorneys bemoaning their heavy caseload yet only two or three active cases in the office at any given time. No concept of time or people management. Support staff just hanging out until a deadline hits because the lawyers believe a law degree is required to do anything more sophisticated than putting paper in the printer. Again, poor management from the top down.
