Pros
None whatsoever for this firm.
Cons
Feel free to research on your own, and you'll find several reviews from past employees who not only agree, but confirm all the other poor reviews of this 'firm'. Including a major lawsuit against AkinMears, which is available online and published by Forbes magazine, for failure to pay a former employee, which they had to settle out of court. This pseudo 'law' firm uses their employees to their benefit by making unreasonable requests, capturing the ideas of their best and brightest and finding unsubstantiated reasons to cut ties shortly thereafter. The entire time I was there, the scatter brained management provided ZERO direction and were ENTIRELY clueless of what they wanted from you as an employee, nor able to articulate it - ironic given they are 'attorney's. They are a revolving door employer, with an incredibly high turnover rate - most employees not lasting more than a year or so. Their only long term employees are family and co-owners, which are probably the ONLY good reviews you'll find on this firm. I'm confident you cannot locate a single case where a client or genuine employee, NOT family member, had a pleasant long term experience working at Akin Mears.
