      Pros

      Great work-life balance, interesting cases, a lot of autonomy and responsibility, great training and resources.

      Cons

      Can be solitary, people are nice but largely keep to themselves so the environment is not very collegial. Potential for advancement and supervisory positions very limited because a lot of attorneys stay there for decades; definitely not an up or out structure. Pay is down in recent years.

      Pros

      Things have changed under the current Republican administration, but the SEC has always been known as a great place to work with the highest salaries in the federal government and very family friendly

      Cons

      Current share seems to actively hate his employees
