Pros

Fairly low stress, easy work when the division was properly staffed. It was a 9-5 type of job when overtime was not mandatory. Nice support staff. Ability to work from home if you had a good excuse.

Cons

The division was usually understaffed due to the unfulfilling nature of the work and the awful pay. Management didn't care about the attorneys or make any effort to improve conditions or pay. A consulting team came in and told them the attorneys were the key to the success of the entire division and every effort should be made to retain those on staff, so their brilliant response was to make overtime mandatory for the already overworked, underpaid attorneys.

Pros

Excellent experience; easy to take time off; many paid holidays; set work schedule and no overtime; nice, large cubicle; excellent benefits and pension.

Cons

They keep throwing more work at you but give no raises; extremely difficult to get all the work done timely because they doubled the Audit quota; no upward mobility; few job openings; those who have been there for over 20 years were around when they freely gave raises and they're making more than anyone coming in now will ever make, and they stay until they retire [oftentimes that person comes back after the 90 day wait period]; the only way to move up is to move to Austin; almost all old people.
