Pros

Fully remote work environment and above average pay.

Cons

Billing Department is under new leadership and expectations are unrealistic due to lack of experience in the legal industry. Directors micromanage to the minute. Toxicity makes working stressful in an already demanding line of work. Core values do not include employee satisfaction or retention so overall morale is low. Turnover is extremely high adding unecessary billing challenges for the partners. Constant reassignment of billing specialists to billing partners make it difficult to understand partner billing challenges resulting in unnecessary errors and less profitable.

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.
