Pros

There's not many pros. The biggest pro is the reputation the firm has in the labor & employment world. If you're a lawyer in any other practice area, go somewhere else.

Cons

The pay is not market, yet you will work brutally long hours. The market is hot right now for associates...look elsewhere for a job. Thank me later.

Pros

The people make the experience.

Cons

There is limited potential for promotions and raises. The new office at Sears tower is horrible. Conference rooms go unused and employees don't even get a wing span worth of space.
