Pros
Nice, hard working, loyal group of employees including the associates and some partners.
Cons
Cheap firm, always looking for a bargain. They give pastries that taste a day old, you have to use five paper towels in order to dry your hands because the paper towels dissolve. They still use liquid white out, the carpet is filthy, office chairs are broken and the walls could use some fresh paint. The past 5 years increases have been 2% or less. This year the firm did a market survey and said they were going to give better increases. They lied. Some increases were less than 2%, bonuses are a joke. The managing partner in LA is crazy and if she doesn’t like you she will make sure she gets rid of you. She’s sneaky and thinks that buying the staff lunch makes up for the crappy raises. Rumors are circulating that the Chair of the firm realizes she made a mistake by putting her in that position, and she will be removed by year end. To make things worse the managing partner runs the L&E group, high turnover, overworked associates, it is obvious that the new associates and laterals in that department know they made a mistake coming to Morgan. The firm thinks they are big law, but they’re not. They treat the Bingham employees like second class citizens and the managing partner in LA condones this. There are a lot of good loyal employees who deserve better, not sure why they stay. The firm sucks.
