      Pros

      Well-located, met with great personalities, quick professional growth, perfect on a resume

      Cons

      Local management was terrible...terrible. You don't need to have a college degree to know that any given lawyer cannot become a managing partner overnight without having a professional or educational background that actually taught him/her how to manage people! Failing to keep young lawyers, low salaries for unlimited worked hours, very hierarchical, not many social events ... and the list goes on...

      Staff side isn't worth it

      Pros

      Good downtown office location. Not open-concept and you can get an office depending on your role. Free coffee and tea. Looks good on your resume. Good benefits. You can work from home.

      Cons

      If you aren't a lawyer, you're second rung. Lawyers can be really rude so you need a tough skin. Lots of overtime, even on holidays. Pay is not competitive and raises are tiny. Understaffed for workload and deadlines. Lots of turnover. You are often told how to do your job by lawyers who have no expertise in your field so you wind up with mediocre results.
