Pros

Very flexible hours, plenty of OT opportunities

Cons

There's no culture, nobody talks to one another, you can hear a pin drop in the office most of time, management is so unorganized it makes your routine chaotic, starting salaries are close to the poverty line in the county, and absolutely no growth opportunities. You pretty much show up, do your work, and go home every single day. Very high volume workload for a job in which the attorneys can care less for. It's a thankless job.

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.

Pros

Great benefits, pay is okay. Partners are reasonable and nice.

Cons

Firm is misogynistic. They either drove someone to quit/fired really good talent and one of the only attorneys that was sweet to the staff after they took the side of male colleague in their interpersonal issue. Watched this person get bullied and firm did nothing. A lot of exclusive groups and mean girl behavior in chicago office it is really a shame
