Pros

A great full service law firm, and becoming more prominent in the region. Most attorneys are very collegial. The talent within each practice group often stacks up well with larger and older competitors.

Cons

As it grows, it becomes somewhat more big-law / corporate in methodology.

Pros

Decent benefits and reimbursement for DART.

Cons

From day one, I never felt like my job was secure. And it wasn't. My particular attorney threw me under the bus and lied to me on several occasions. (Yes, I caught him.) Winstead has a toxic working environment which is well known. While I was working at Munsch Hardt a former Winstead employee told me of her experiences of working at Winstead (she had worked there for 10 years before joining Munsch) so I was somewhat apprehensive joining the firm. Turned out she was right. HR does not back-up its employees. Training is minimal to non-existent. Cliques abound. Your talents are never recognized.
