Pros

Variety of work. Consistent work because of Insurance clients. National presence but is not "biglaw"

Cons

Terrible HR. Does not follow CA Employment and Labor laws. Class action lawsuit waiting to happen. They auto-deduct an hour for lunch every day...even if you don't take a lunch.

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.
