Pros
The people are the best part of the firm! The teams are super collaborative, and your co-workers are very supportive and willing to help you out. I am happy to see many of my coworkers each day. We have a great vibe! The firm is fast paced, but I have learned so much in the short time I have been a Legal Assistant. I came in with no prior experience in Landlord/Tenant law and received training to learn about proper procedures and protocol. If you are a quick learner with a strong work ethic, you will do great at Griffin Alexander! Every day I learn something new and I am proud of what I have accomplished so far with the firm. In terms of work-life balance, there is great work-life balance! We get a paid, hour-long lunch. Additionally, the hours are a very traditional 9am to 5pm with little to no overtime required.
Cons
There can sometimes be a heavy workload. The demand fluctuates as there are some busy times of the month. However, this can teach you great time management skills and you can reach out to your supervisor if you are feeling overwhelmed and cannot meet a specific deadline. Once again, if you have a strong work-ethic, you will do great!
