Pros

The downtown office space is beautiful and conveniently located.

Cons

Aside from typical "Big-Law" politics and norms . . . this is a place to gain experience to put on a resume but don't invest your time here. Make contacts, build relationships with clients on your on accord, build a portfolio, then leave; taking your clients with you.

Proximity to trains; good location, though that is changing soon

Hostile environment, dominated by cliques, with virtually no teamwork, or a common goal; utterly incompetent department management who appear clueless as the department dissolves before them; astonishing turnover rate
