      Pros

      Free CLEs offered. There is also pizza before every holiday.

      Cons

      Too many non-equity partners trying to climb their way to the top. The place is a mill! Low pay and high billables! Not worth it!

      Pros

      Great benefits and vacation. Some really great people

      Cons

      Perception rules, nothing based on facts. Play favorites all the time. HR only cares about firm not people. Not enough recognition only criticism. Bad raises no matter how hard you work

      Pros

      Quarterly (if we're lucky) social gatherings that supply alcohol, all the legal pads and Wilson Elser pens you can dream of, free parking and wi-fi

      Cons

      Knowing and feeling what it is like to be subhuman, Incentive to meet your unreachable billing goal is keeping you job, punching in past your grace period or billing like an average attorney warrants a threatening email from your supervisor
