Pros

Not many. Pay is decent if you're a recent graduate. Benefits are alright.

Cons

Management is a mess. They provide the absolute bare minimum for training, put the onus on you to "just ask questions" and then are rude and condescending when you do exactly that. Attorneys don't communicate with anybody about basically anything, outside of "monthly" meetings that often get canceled at the last minute. If you're not an attorney or shareholder, nobody gives you the time of day and you just have to figure things out on your own. I'm sure that's cheaper and easier in the short term, but it puts the firms clients and its reputation at very real risk. It's also pretty suspicious that every time a couple of negative reviews come in with consistent complaints about specific issues, a wave of vague 5-star reviews follows soon after. That alone says that management has no intention of working on these problems and is content to let its business staff tread water.

Pros

Great offices; no "elitism," meaning no one cares much where you went to school or whom you clerked for; genuinely committed to diversity.

Cons

In my experience the firm is highly "siloed," meaning you work effectively for one powerful partner. If that person's great, your job will be great; if they're terrible....

Pros

There are no pros. Do not apply to work for this office. You will regret it.

Cons

What a nightmare working for and with nasty, miserable and abusive people who you cannot trust. There is nothing ethical about these people as they take advantage of the clients with billing their time and assistants who are not busy take advantage of over-time. There is a reason why there is so much turnaround.
