Pros

It is a large firm with a rebuttable name. Because of the size and success there are a lot of resources available that smaller firms might not have.

Cons

There is a huge disparity in income between attorneys and support staff. While this can be expected, it creates a divide in understanding that can get in the way of team building and collaboration. The staff have to fight for even the smallest raises and are often given more work when reaching out to management with concerns about burnout. They also don't seem to promote from within which blocks internal growth and devlopment.

Pros

Relatively good pay Strong companywide culture

Cons

Note: Cons apply to the editorial team, rather than the entire company. Lackluster onboarding Poor training with insufficient mentoring Inconsistent application of editorial standards and methods that are more concerned with not offending attorneys than with actually making documents better Ignorance of/disregard for basic rules of grammar Forced employees across the country to work on Pacific Time Gaslighting Belittling of previous experience, a general attitude of condescension Criticism of employees in front of other employees Lack of preparedness for meetings and instructional sessions
