Pros

Great retirement benefits, strong Director of HR who wants to make improvements but is often blocked by upper management. Compensation structure and bonuses among staff is average, among Attorneys is very competitive. A good place to work as support staff if you want an easy 9-5. Not great if you aspire to do more or want to work in upper management.

Cons

Upper management, aside from the actual HR department, is bland. Advancement is not encouraged, raises are minimal at best among staff and grow by leaps and bounds for upper management & attorneys. Very little diversity in staff and in thought process. There is no work schedule flexibility - it is still very much a "punch the clock", one hour in and out for lunch type of place. Depending on your direct supervisor more often than not you will be micromanaged.

Pros

Compensation, benefits, and the perks are awesome. Venable has a very competitive package that makes it very attractive to join the firm. - Los Angeles office has a gym! - You can meet some nice people here.

Cons

This is a large firm that is compromised of other small firms that have been acquired by Venable. Cliques have been naturally formed based on previous firm association. - ”Some” attorneys can be rude, moody, not friendly to work with. - Los Angeles management has a tendency to lean/side with a complaining attorney rather than support staff . - High turnover - Work environment can be draining at times. You take the good with the bad.
