Pros

The benefits are great and the organization is well known in the law industry.

Cons

Management in the billing department is horrible. The training is extremely inefficient and the billing manager was a micro manager. The manager displays favoritism to certain employees and reporting the issues to HR doesnt do any good. I was constantly harassed and felt like I was a toddler in a day care facility. I couldn't go to the bathroom without being timed. I don't know about any of the other departments but the billing department has a high turnover employee rate due solely to management.
