Pros

I put some deep thought into this, and very rarely write reviews for anything. The only Pro I can think of is the random few people that try amazingly hard to make the workplace more tolerable. For reference, I've worked as an attorney for 25 years, and I have never felt sick to come to work. This is a new experience for me.

Cons

I could probably write a horror novel about this place. Three years ago, the firm brought in a new CIO, which was supposed to be the catalyst to bring the firm up to technological standards. Well, leadership has been fooled. Our document management system is from the 90s and crashes weekly, and our computers are just as bad. Only the elite few are given laptops, and even this process requires a board vote. If you cherish any life outside of work (family, friends, vacation), DO NOT WORK HERE. On the other hand, if you enjoy your boss calling you while you vacation on the beach in Bermuda, then this is the place for you. This place is always one step away from a total IT meltdown that will most likely cause catastrophic impact to the business.

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.
