Admin Staff

Pros

It's very easy to get comfortable here. Goodwin gives great benefits and pretty good pay (could definitely be higher, but that's just about everywhere). For the most part, if you're looking to put in your 40 hours, get paid and have a great work/life balance - you'll like working here.

Cons

The biggest con at Goodwin is professional development for the admin staff. There's virtually none, so it's not the place to develop your career (if that's what you're looking to do). The growth path for admin staff is non-existent. It's a great place to kick off your career - you'll definitely get some standard office experience.

Great Firm

Pros

There is an Entrepreneurial spirit throughout the firm. That culture rewards those who proactively seek solutions to problems. The people are smart and motivated to achieve the client’s needs. They do plenty of pro bono work, if that is of interest.

Cons

Big Law Life and all that that entails. Professional Staff salaries are below market value across the board. No matter your contribution, as staff, you will be rewarded signifigantly less than attorneys.

A great place to work in "big" law

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Smart, professional people; fine-tuned machine in which administrative problems solved easily/quickly; never ending list of resources to get what you need; liberal environment.

Cons

The usual big law downfalls: poor raises; long hours; friendlier than most firms to families, but still not excellent work-life balance.
