Pros

Great people, benefits, and flexible work life balance

Cons

Pay is pretty sub-par for the work expectations. Workload can be unfairly distributed based on your assigned market and associated market nuances. Very limited growth potential and few opportunities to climb the ladder professionally.

Business Outlook

Pros

They have fairly good benefits, many incentive programs, half days on Fridays (though you have to work an extra hour each day during the week), ice cream trucks, food trucks day, summer outing, holiday parties, etc. All the typical things large companies do to placate their employees.

Cons

The pay and the lack of growth are the cons. There is no path forward for growth. They won’t even give you an arbitrary title change that comes with a minimal pay bump because they don’t want to “saturate the roster”. Meanwhile, at least on my team, we all did the same amount of work and only one person had the attorney 2 title to match. HR won’t address your concerns head on. The company recognizes that this is just a launching point for attorneys so they don’t attempt to create any retention. Get your experience and move on.
