-Raises are less than what those on social security get, and parking money, etc has been taken away -Lack of promotion opportunities -Position is likely to be eliminated within the next 5 years due to outsourcing and the global reach of the company -Very low morale, corporate culture is fear.

Lawyers, even licensed attorneys, are a dime a dozen at TR. You aren't valued for your education or experience and are paid less than what the average school teacher makes. CAVEAT: If you graduated from law school, but haven't passed the Bar (either haven't take it or failed), this is still one of the few places that will hire you for an "attorney" position. Certain TR employees are "required" to have a J.D. for their position, but this isn't to be able to perform the substantive work. An employee with a JD degree is hired to give the impression to outside attorneys that the TR staff is of a "higher level" (not my words - blame management). If you are already licensed, they won't foot the bill for your annual fees, CLEs, or anything else that even a 1-3 attorney firm covers. TR doesn't care enough to do that. Too many attorneys there to pay for too many attorneys. The day I left TR is the day my career as an attorney actually started. My advice: keep up your annual license and bar association fees. You WILL want and need them again some day!
