Pros

There are some talented attorneys that work here so you can gain litigation experience. You will learn to manage cases and see a variety of different types of cases. Because of its size, you will litigate against very professional and talented plaintiffs attorneys that you can also learn from.

Cons

Low pay and not a lot of opportunities to develop your own business or advance upward.

Pros

Good coworkers and supervisors. Billable work environments tend to be the same in terms of monotony, so it helps to have a good team.

Cons

Billable hours aren't the most fun thing in the world. Huge caseload.

Pros

Great benefits, pay is okay. Partners are reasonable and nice.

Cons

Firm is misogynistic. They either drove someone to quit/fired really good talent and one of the only attorneys that was sweet to the staff after they took the side of male colleague in their interpersonal issue. Watched this person get bullied and firm did nothing. A lot of exclusive groups and mean girl behavior in chicago office it is really a shame
