Pros

A job. Good benefits. No other positives except they provide free coffee, free sodas and water. Free parking, supplies. Nice office space.

Cons

Unfriendly, negative environment. No communication between staff members and arrogant attorneys. No training. Boring work. No teamwork. The only people happy here are the mean spirited ones that have worked here for years and can't get another job if they tried. Revolving door for attorneys and staff members.

Pros

There are no good reasons, other than medical insurance and the 401K plan with matching funds. (Don't know if that is still true.)

Cons

Watch your back. They pretend to care about their employees when they care only about the big-name businesses who pad their pockets. The obnoxious madman screaming partner in the corner office ran through secretaries like water. They keep secret files on their employees so if you ask to see your file, they can produce the one they keep for such a request, and never show you the "real" one because you didn't know it existed! New associate attorneys are treated like dirt and are "encouraged" to "assimilate corporate culture" -- if they don't there is no chance of making partner/big bucks. They are nicknamed "the Rat" and "Union Busters" and it's true.
