Pros

The staff is nice but miserable

Cons

No respect for staff; can be laid off at any time doesn’t matter how long you’ve worked here. Expected to do multiple jobs as they do not staff properly. Over work you until you burn out. Lie to the staff about anything and everything. Toxic work environment. Staff is miserable and attorneys are stressed 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.
