Pros

Good hours and benefits.

Cons

They love knowledge. If you have the knowledge, you will move up in the company. But management also has zero "soft skills" and is difficult to deal with in all departments across the board. The organization is very "top very" with the mid-level and entry level people making far less.

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.
