Business Outlook
Pros
Good mid-and upper-level administrative management. Some good advancement opportunities for non-secretarial support staff. Some stellar co-workers at all levels.
Cons
Administration was seriously understaffed even before the layoffs, particularly in satellite offices. Staff who survive layoffs are expected to take on unrealistic workloads. As a result, good administrative staff frequently leave for better opportunities, which kills morale. Management is frequently as overworked as everyone else, making it difficult for them to get perspective on just how messed-up these workloads are. As with many large firms, partners who mistreat associates and staff are, for the most part, tolerated.
