Pros

beautiful view from high floor of 1 Liberty Place building, you can see the whole Philadelphia from glass walls, lots of sunlight, clean, transparent offices

Cons

Office Politics is number one priority, constant games, racism and no transparency. Everyone runs to HR and supervisors to report each other. I realized that separating from DLA was one of the best things that happened to me, work wise.

Pros

- Excellent pay and benefits - Flexibility with the hybrid schedule (depending on your practice group) - Easy to build community with other assistants and paralegals

Cons

- Easy to fall into burnout due to understaffing in assistant/paralegal positions - Be prepared for an unexpectedly higher or lower workload at any point. - D.C. location is particularly strict about the hybrid expectations - A bit disorganized as a whole when it comes to onboarding and training for your particular practice group.
