Excellent Place to Work

Pros

Great colleagues and management, very rewarding work helping people, the management takes the attorneys and union members concerns into consideration to try to make the position work best for everyone.

Cons

Work many hours for the pay, you have to do it for the love of the job, not the money. Obviously, they have budget struggles at times and that can be reflected in the "extras" like running out of office supplies when money is tight. But overall, they are able to work with what they have.

Pros

Unionized. Lots of vacation time. Unlimited sick days. Casual office.

Cons

Excessive workload. Poor office morale. Numerous arraignment shifts. No outside contact with other firms so that employees do not know how a successfully functioning not-for profit office should work. Administrative staff is not the best. Extremely poor salary for the amount of work expected from attorneys.
