Pros

Benefits are as expected and in line of a large firm.

Cons

This office is staffed with contractors and low paid staff who have little incentive to work above and beyond. Computer network is like being in the dial up modem days, but most importantly, complaints go no where. As long as upper Admin. management gets their large bonuses, they have no incentive to make the offices any better or more efficient.

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.
