Pluspunten

I tried really, really hard but couldn't come up with any.

Minpunten

A very toxic work environment. Management fosters an atmosphere of tattling, back-stabbing and complaining. There is discrimination in every area - race, religion, sexual orientation, weight, age, etc. The partners dump all the work on the associates and paralegals all the while berating them about their billable hours so they'll get more money at the end of the year. The secretaries are worked to death --- 6-8 attorneys to each secretary but they are still expected to do admin/billing work. Huge turnover constantly in all areas. The good people leave and they replace them with whoever they can get cheap - little to no experience needed. They don't pay vendors or experts fees for greater than 90 days as a rule so you're constantly fending off phone calls about unpaid invoices. They don't even reimburse expenses to employees on a timely basis. Human Resources is completely ineffective - people go to them with complaints and they "sweep them under the rug" and then that person is put on a hit list to be terminated as soon as they can paper their file. There is no chance of advancement. The pay is paltry and raises are pretty much nonexistent and salaries were recently "capped."

Pluspunten

Was an associate here for the last 2 yrs and left for personal reasons. Overall a good firm and great place to work. The regional managing partner is excellent and approachable. They pay associates well. Were willing to be flexible when I fell off track due to personal reasons. Lots of work to go around and partners are helpful in circulating that work when needed. Great events & educational resources, good flexibility with re: remote/hybrid work, and I liked all of the associates I worked with.

Minpunten

Strict rules re: entering time/billing (as with any large firm). A few "off" or antagonistic partners.
