Pros

The after-work events, staff is friendly and very helpful, Diversity and Inclusion team is great

Cons

Literally EVERYTHING else. Don't be fooled by the fake good reviews of Polsinelli. This is a horrible place! They get people to put up fake reviews literally on the same day that you put your honest, negative review of this place. DO NOT GO THERE! You will definitely regret it. If you end up at Polsinelli, use it as a stepping stone to get to the next place. This is not a place where you want to stay long-term AT ALL. Management lies to get you in the door then you will see Polsinelli for what it really is. They lie and tell you that it's a great place and have people make fake "GREAT PLACE" reviews. The pay is low, yet they'll constantly throw more and more work on you. You will not be happy here. Every single day I dreaded working there. And the pay dates suck....7th and 22nd - which they don't even tell you before you start, not to mention that your paychecks will fluctuate. At times, you will receive a check that is considerably less and you will need to prepare for those times because you'll definitely feel it financially. They don't even tell you this up front. The raises are low and you can forget about getting a good holiday bonus. They give you $50!!! LAUGHABLE!!! Yes, they will work you like crazy then give you $50!! Don't put any stock into the fake "great place to work" reviews. IT IS NOT!!! I knew I had to get out of there after only a few months of being there. This is the only place I've ever worked in my life that I HATED. As a secretary, I received very little to no training, yet they had high expectations but with low pay. You will have to self-train on the desk as well as their system.

Pros

Strong company and office building structure and processes.

Cons

Little to no training, emphasis on lower level/cheaper employees taking on more from higher level/expensive staff from a company and client cost perspective. Poor culture. Felt guilty actually taking a lunch or leaving on time. Too high of expectations for average salary.
