Pros
My employee paychecks always cleared.
Cons
Where to begin? No mentoring for us fungible associates; low pay; most partners miserable and afraid of their own shadow; managed by bullies who are not that bright; lip service to diversity since the "diverse" attorneys are all in on the joke; and no national reputation to speak of despite its size. I understand from my friends still stuck there that recent layoffs of staff and lawyers may have occurred. Given the lousy market, if you have to work there, you do what you have to do. But, it is best to get some experience and leave for better opportunities because no matter how great your work product, the partners will take credit for it. And, you will never be given opportunities to get your own clients given the firm culture. Just a very toxic environment.
