Pros

Free coffee? A chance to gain general experience as an attorney. Some good colleagues.

Cons

Other reviews cover in detail the broader set of problems at this firm. Branding as a "different" type of law firm that utilizes six sigma and similar management philosophy from the broader business world is just a veneer. In practice, the firm is a poorly managed mid-market firm attempting to beat bigger and better big law firms on price. The general dishonesty or lack of consistency with the values of their marketing campaign may be the explanation for the blind eye turned towards the unusually high number of sociopaths and bullies lurking in this firm. I have rarely encountered such a toxic and unpleasant place to work. There is little cohesive vision and the firm lacks any real leadership or values.

Pros

GREAT atmosphere in the Sac office. Everyone is congenial, polite, and friendly. Great pay and atmosphere.

Cons

Very stern on 3 days in office policy, even if staff is sick. Also PTO and sick time are in the same bucket.
