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.

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.
