Pros

The attorneys are generally nice, friendly and easy to work with, aside from a few glaring exceptions. Clients are generally cooperative, the office environment is congenial, and the pay is good for most positions.

Cons

Paralegals are given much too much flexibility, which is often taken advantage of (at the expense of subordinate support staff). Hours are unreasonable for support staff, who are expected to work late every day not because of a heavy workload but because most of the attorneys don't like to get up early. HR is completely incompetent and fails to enforce policies uniformly (e.g. allows certain staff members but NOT others to take unpaid days off, to work from home, etc.)

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.
