Pros

Nice offices, decent benefits and pay...especially in smaller markets. Strong Professional Development, solid staff, and decent colleagues.

Cons

Senior leadership (mutli-headed CEOs and COO/BB) does not care about anything other than their own careers, ego and bank accounts. Firm is too large to right the ship, which empowers them even more.

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.
