Pros

Great co-workers. Some really amazing associates who are willing to help you and tell you what they need. Good benefits. Overtime pay is great depending on which department you work for.

Cons

Lawyers are king and LAA's are subordinates in every sense of the word. I've never been reviewed more in my life. Your happiness will all depend on which partners you get and what department you work for. Management is "pro attorney" so know that you have no advocates there. No real resolutions or support. If you're written up you can't be transferred or moved. You are stuck until you leave on your own or you're escorted off the premises by security. Thankfully I chose option one.

Pros

Office culture is inclusive and friendly. Salary is somewhat competitive for staff. Bonuses are not generous. Benefits are average. Most attorneys are great to work with, but there are some of difficult attorneys that can make one’s life miserable. LAAs handle lot of billing responsibilities. Overall, a good place to work if you don’t mind the above.

Cons

Your happiness depends, in part, by who you work for. Small bonuses and raises.
