Pros

A paycheck, and free fruit and breakfast. That's about it, I'd say.

Cons

Upper management, and a review process that was a joke. The working environment at Kirkland was nothing but a hostile environment, full of high school type "cliques" and favoritism based on who can be the fakest. Since, I wasn't plastic like the rest of them - I always "lost" at that game. The only secretaries that can tolerate the firm, are the ones that are close to retirement or were straight out of college. But, just like any other place - once they learn of the power plays by the Administrator that bled down to her "underlings" they soon leave. This place will always be a negative environment, and even though I've worked at other law firms with low morale - this place takes the cake!
