Pros

Venable is a reputable firm with many wonderful partners and is a leader in many of its practice group areas. This allows for the opportunity to gain exposure to interesting client work at a fast paced environment for competitive pay.

Cons

The culture is toxic and anyone who is at the associate or paralegal or analyst level, particularly doing non-legal or consulting work, is in for a thankless time of long hours, questionable treatment of employees, HR issues that get explained away or swept under the rug, and ultimately anyone who is talented or motivated enough to land a job here deserves to be somewhere else.

Pros

Overall a good place to work. Current manager is investing a lot of time in our education and responsibilities. Benefits are great except for medical.

Cons

The paralegal department hasn't been looked after as well as the other departments among the firm. We didn't even have a manager until a couple of years ago while there were managers for all the other departments. We had no one looking out for out interests, especially on the salary level. During my tenure I had to advocate for myself just to get paid market value. Between the increases in medical insurance and inflation in general, Venable is not paying their paralegals to compensate for that. Prior to the pandemic, they were already underpaying their staff. Prior to the pandemic, by BCBS was 100% coverage after meeting a $250 deductible. The deductible is now 4,000 and only 90% coverage.
