Pros

My other peers were really helpful and supportive whenever I needed help with anything. Many of the secretaries and paralegals, and other employees that work here are really nice and will go out of their way to ask you about your day. Some of the work I did here was indeed meaningful - gave me a lot of good insight and perspective as well as making that relationship with an attorney.

Cons

Too much micromanagement - I understand there are protocols for the upper managemnet to follow and rules that need to be enforced. However, when it came to communicating those rules and standards, I felt like I was left in the dark. Additionally - it seemed like there were rather different standards for each person that was a part of the same team making it difficult to decipher where you stand. Heavily scrutinization over small mistakes and no recognition for a job well done or good feedback from peers.

Pros

The pay is pretty good.

Cons

There are too many managers, most of whom are micro-managers. No actual work can get done. Managers say they want your input and then do whatever they want anyway. There is no respect for junior employees.
