Pros

Good pay, really nice co workers, great manager

Cons

You’re not an assistant, you’re a biller. Bills all day long, monthly billing meetings software is old, every department has a new head. It’s like the firm just opened its doors and is figuring it out

Pros

- Excellent pay and benefits - Flexibility with the hybrid schedule (depending on your practice group) - Easy to build community with other assistants and paralegals

Cons

- Easy to fall into burnout due to understaffing in assistant/paralegal positions - Be prepared for an unexpectedly higher or lower workload at any point. - D.C. location is particularly strict about the hybrid expectations - A bit disorganized as a whole when it comes to onboarding and training for your particular practice group.
