VERY cliquish and a place where nepotism is rampant. They don't even hide it. When starting, only training you get is from someone else who has a similar position as you, and that's IF they have the time. Management does not handle serious situations professionally. If you're not a partner, you're treated like sub-human by them. Even associates. So unless you come in as a partner, you won't get any respect from the attorneys. Very much an "old boys club." Also if you're staff, there is nowhere to go for progression; people have been in the same position for over 20+ years. If that's your thing, go for it, but if you want to grow, go somewhere else
