Pros

It's a job that pays a decent salary and there are some good people that work there. Free water and soda in each office and once in a while, they manage to pass on the leftover lunches from management meetings.

Cons

Let's just start with the benefits - they are horrible. Probably the worst I've ever seen except for the amount of vacation you start with. Moral is poor (if there is any at all) across all departments within the firm. Annual reviews are just another way for the company to tell you to work more without additional pay. Management passed their retirement age a few decades ago but are somehow still running the firm.

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
