Pros
After working at a really great firm for 3 years now, I see how employees should be treated and I cannot, honestly think of any pros.
Cons
Very high billing requirements. No communication from management if there are problems. Laid off without severance or notice (literally immediately). Blamed because the partner I worked for left the firm and then suddenly informed there was not enough work. Maybe a good place to start but I was there 20 years and they literally gave me 5 minutes notice when they laid me off. Horrible management. Lack of support to assist in making billable requirements. Billables exceed daily work period and does not take into account the numerous non-billable tasks paralegals are required to perform, especially with lacking administrative support. Would not recommend this firm for a long term career. After 20 years no severance or even any notice.
