Pros

The status of a firm like that. It looks good on a resume. Well respected firm, with high profile clients and challenging, complex work.

Cons

Soulless. It's a sad, lonely place to work.

Pros

Slight bonuses and pay raises given so I guess that's a good thing especially in today's economy, something is better than nothing.

Cons

Treatment of Mail Service/Messenger workers (especially those with disabilities) needs to improve 'greatly'. Lack of communication within this department is horrendous, and promotions needs to be improved upon as well.

Pros

Surrounded by highly intelligent professional that are driven to deliver for clients. An environment that allows you to interact with senior members of the firm and go beyond the industry and learn more about new industries.

Cons

Long hours that at times seems unnecessary. Too much "on-hold" time that can result in all-nighters (sometimes consecutive). A conservative culture.
