Pros

Overtime when I worked there, nice little team, interesting work, 9-5 standard hours so fine balance, own caseloads, Christmas parties for free

Cons

Where do I start??? Team was running fine until an internal promotion saw us being managed by a fellow, equally as qualified paralegal with absolutely NO people skills. Huge turnover of staff in the department due to the bullying nature of her, she was widely disliked but in bed with one of partners, and no effective HR dept in place so nothing ever done for fear of life being made hell! People bullied out of their job due to personal dislike, my yearly review was a joke due to the fact that I was cool civil rather than falsely friendly, we were constantly yellows at and verbally abused on a daily basis, I used to go home crying wanting to quit every day- as long as this employee is here I wouldn't recommend here at all

Pros

I loved every second of time here. Despite the fact that it was long hours, and stressful, I can not say one bad word.

Cons

Only con is of course the long hours, but it is part and parcel of the business. You learn to live with it very fast.
