Pros

- The kitchen is acceptably filled. - The location is pretty convenient. - Inclusiveness: they hire a high rate of orphans, people who didn't have the chance to have parents to teach them politeness, respect, kindness.

Cons

- Salaries are not great. - The lawyers are rich, but the management is poor. - Not all people are well-mannered, to say it kindly. - Don't expect bonuses, don't listen to their promises. - You're always invited to give your opinion but, if you give a honest one, you're fired.

Pros

Support staff in Records and Office Services are really helpful

Cons

Firm policy on working in office 2 days a week is a joke. Staff and Paras have to come in but most days there are no attorneys in the office. Some have never been in since the lockdown
