Pros

The best part of working here was the day I walked out the door for the last time. The cafeteria was pretty good too. That's it.

Cons

I could write a novel about all of the things that were wrong about working here. To summarize the full experience, all you need to know is that all of the manager level positions are held by former practicing attorneys. This is detrimental to the company in two ways. One, your administration is full of attorneys, who couldn't hack it anymore as attorneys, trying to do jobs they do not have the experience or knowledge to do. Two, they can't retain young talent as a result. There is no room for career growth. Management only values people who have a JD or aspire to attain a JD. If you must work there, do your two years and get out.
