Pros

Wilson Elser offered good salary, good benefits, and I enjoyed working with a lot of the attorneys and most of the secretaries and paralegals.

Cons

There is very little growth opportunity at Wilson Elser even though it is an international company. They didn't have any sort of career training or help further education so if you stay there, you pretty much stay where you are unless you're an attorney, in which case, you can move up the ladder.

Pros

Good coworkers and supervisors. Billable work environments tend to be the same in terms of monotony, so it helps to have a good team.

Cons

Billable hours aren't the most fun thing in the world. Huge caseload.
