Pros
Looks good on a resume, nice office, medical, dental, vision, 401K, commuter benefits, and occasionally finding leftovers from meetings.
Cons
Uniforms, seriously! You are required to wear a uniform because that is how little they think of you. The resources are sparse, even though there are hundreds of attorneys. They expect you to be at the whim of every attorneys’ needs, including working long nights, early mornings, weekends, and EVEN overnight shifts. Attorneys and managers yelling and swearing at you, and sometimes being absurdly condescending. Almost never receiving positive comments or being told thank you, even when you are handing something to them or cleaning up their mess. The firm only cares about the attorneys. They barely allow room for growth, and do not invest in more training or learning opportunities for staff. Feeling sick to your stomach every Sunday night.
