Pros

Quarterly (if we're lucky) social gatherings that supply alcohol, all the legal pads and Wilson Elser pens you can dream of, free parking and wi-fi

Cons

Knowing and feeling what it is like to be subhuman, Incentive to meet your unreachable billing goal is keeping you job, punching in past your grace period or billing like an average attorney warrants a threatening email from your supervisor

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.
