Pros

The pay is decent, and the benefits are alright. There's also a 35-hour workweek.

Cons

This is not the place to go if you're looking to advance through the ranks and achieve a position of leadership. There are lots of dinosaurs who have been working here for over 10 years. The entire place is run by attorneys which I suppose is expected since this is a labor union. I have no idea what on Earth some of the reviewers here are thinking when they talk about the "culture." There is ZERO culture. It's just a collection of various cliques. There are no organization-wide values or goals. Mentorship is non-existent. Being trained on new concepts is a process wrought with frustration and a lack of organization. The work is downright uninteresting. If you're a recent law school graduate looking to get some experience, this place would make a good stepping stone to a better job.

Pros

The mission is meaningful and the benefits package is cool

Cons

Work-life balance is poor. The workload and expectations feel consistently high, and coverage isn’t reliable, when things get busy, support can be inconsistent. The biggest issue is fairness: there’s a noticeable pay gap even within the same team for comparable work, and it’s hard not to feel discouraged when people doing the same job are compensated very differently. It also doesn’t feel like a true team. Accountability is uneven, and when some employees disengage or avoid work, the same few people end up carrying the load to keep everything running. Leadership responsiveness can be inconsistent, and representation and inclusion efforts don’t always feel reflected in decision-making.
