Pros

Always treated their employees with dignity and respect, especially important during the years of economic crisis. Great benefits!!! Very reasonable premium rates for their staff and many free but comprehensive benefits too. Good environment, lots of great people.

Cons

Often grew too quickly for staff to keep up with the changes. At the end of my employment they were running so lean of staff it made it very difficult to continue to offer strong quality services.

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.
