Pros

If you are first year associate who can't get another job, you can at Wilson Elser. You will get into court a great deal and after a year be able to take that experience and find a position with another firm. If you went to a lower tier school, you can also get a job here as a first year associate. You will travel to take depositions and make court appearances so you will be thrown into actual practice right away. If you are director level staff, you can get away with practically anything as long as Tom will likes you.

Cons

Overgrown shabby Mom and Pop store

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.
