Pros

Structured 9 to 5 job which allows for you to have a balanced for work

Cons

Bad year means lay offs. Company terminated or fired 20 employees in January, just because they didn't have a good 4th qtr. They say they didn't have money to increase pay, however bonuses were heavy handed for attorneys. Secretaries are old and lack knowledge in office suite. Therefore you are responsible for attorneys, secretary, and administrative fuctions. Gave tons of financial support to "groups" and "officials" yet couldn't give a bump for pay. Health insurance has been even worse year to year and I worked there for over 5 years. Very unorthodox approach with employees, spend millions on appearance but not on employee growth.

Pros

My experience with my team was outstanding, and I genuinely enjoyed the work I performed during my time at the firm. The role was exactly as it had been presented during the interview process, The environment was supportive. My colleagues were always willing to help, share knowledge, and step in when needed. One aspect I particularly appreciated was the team's commitment to maintaining a healthy work-life balance. I could take PTO with confidence, knowing that I would not return to an unmanageable backlog of work. Additionally, the firm's benefits package was among the most comprehensive and competitive I have encountered in my career. The PTO amount was awesome too.

Cons

As of early 2026, the firm had announced the strategic priority of automating administrative functions with AI chatbots, including my scope of work. Ultimately, I chose to leave due to both the handling of this announcement as well as the growing concern that my role would be replaced by AI.
