Pros

There are quality, talented people. Pay is comparable with industry, even on high side for same job in other industries. Benefits are comparable.

Cons

Administrative staff is completely overworked and under staffed. Upper management is generally uncaring and incompetent. Good people are leaving left and right and there is no effort to stop it or try to address morale. Career advancement is impossible. Rarely promote from within. Have seen consistent hiring of under-qualified candidates into positions much higher than their experience warrants when internal candidates would be much better. Bonus and review process for administrative staff is an abomination. Bad behavior from "rain makers" is acceptable. Administrative staff is told they cannot say "no" to attorneys. No respect for the expertise and input of the administrative staff.

Pros

Support staff has been fantastic for career development. Wonderful people to work with and I feel that it has been challenging in a motivational way to keep me developing my skillset.

Cons

I do think that I'm being slightly underpaid but the benefits of working here outweigh that.
