Pros

Health benefits are standard, IT and office support staff outstanding while working remotely.Firm did very well during the pandemic and continues to do so.

Cons

Bonus and raises a joke ($0.11 an hour one year). Paralegal management ineffective in dealing with issues. Constant emails about wellness and community but the emphasis is on billable hours. Little time to have contact with people outside your practice group,so if your group is toxic,so is your work environment
