Pros

Various range & exposure to different areas of law. Some people are nice

Cons

Large firm who cares about stiffing their hard working employees and putting even more money into partners pockets. They discriminate beyond belief. They screw people over and treat them like they are a dime a dozen and hold no value. I refer to this place as an HR nightmare, which guess what? THE HR Dept. IS A NIGHTMARE and they DO NOTHING to secure an equal, non discriminatory work environment. I've never seen so many disgusting acts or persons and in a law firm nonetheless.

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
