Business Outlook

Pros

Began with the firm when it was much smaller (before all the merger mania). It was a great firm to work for then. I would have given it all five stars.

Cons

As it got bigger through uncontrolled merging (or combining as they call it), it became very unfriendly to staff (non-legal). High turnover and under resourced. I would not recommend working there. Executive management is very greedy.
