Pros
A great place to be to get useful experience and move on to a different law firm.. If you have no desire to earn a lot of money or have your intangible contributions valued, this is your type of firm.
Cons
No camaraderie, only internal competition among partners. Rampant padding of hours encouraged by the firm's minimum requirement of 2200 billable hours annually for associates. No recognition of intangibles and other leadership qualities that make certain law firms truly great . A stifling, negative atmosphere for all employees and partners, except the chosen few at the top of the pyramid who take home most of the profits. Opening more and more offices but the profits per partner do not increase, only the gross collections do. Toxic at all levels of the partnership. Executive Committee membership depends on who you work for and how much business you bring in, not on great client service and quality of work or the many intangibles that should be, but are not, valued. Very unprofessional.
