      Pros

      The billable hours for attorneys are reasonable for the pay. The firm changed its compensation model, which is a mix between lockstep and merit-based pay and makes the firm more competitive. The Dallas office space is very nice and at a great location. Most of the shareholders are easy to work with and associates are provided with a lot of resources for practice and business development. The firm has a great banking and real estate practice.

      Cons

      Practice groups are NOT treated equally. If you are interested in litigation, avoid Winstead. Members of the board and other firm leaders are not interested in the litigation practice and not willing to invest in attracting or retaining shareholder-level litigators. In the past year, several shareholders and senior attorneys in litigation have left the firm or been asked to leave. The firm has also been demoting a few litigation shareholders. The firm is also terrible at diversity recruiting. There are few women and people of color at the firm and no LGBT attorneys.

      Pros

      Excellent opportunity to jump into the corporate world of events and gain a lot of experience - the attorneys are nice and typically easy/fun to work with. A nice way to combine an events job with corporate hours - less nights and no weekends. Nice variety of events that you work on.

      Cons

      Extremely cliquey with a poor definition of TEAM and you definitely have to "play the game" as someone else mentioned. A very "survival of the fittest" and watch your back mentality in this department. What's laid out as a plan to train and mentor you into a role is not necessarily reality. This is an EVENT position and has nothing to do with Marketing as a whole. Creativity is also legitimately frowned upon.
