Good place to start, not long term

Business Outlook

Pros

- vacation time is generous -people - benefits are good but do not make up for lackluster compensation - work is interesting for the most part, but legal teams are siloed and you don’t wind up a well rounded in house attorney unless you switch teams which can halt career progression internally but make you a more marketable candidate externally

Cons

-compensation far below market rate - there is no concrete way to get promoted and move up at this company. You can exceed expectations and goals and still not benefit financially and/or with your title

Pros

Met some nice people working there. Management was relaxed and did not micromanage.

Cons

Lacked the resources needed to make this job manageable. No support from corporate for new resources. Very high cash volume with quick turnarounds expected. Stress was not worth the pay.
