Business outlook
Pros
- Certain of the groups have been broken, but the Firm is working to employ new management in those groups, to great success. - Genuine attempt to assist associates with too great/too little workloads. - Very reasonable salaries. - Not all attorneys are outstanding (of course) but there are several stellar individuals amongst attorneys and staff.
Cons
- A focus on Labor & Employment litigation (on which the Firm was largely built) sometimes seems to be detrimental to other practice groups. - Secretive management culture at the very top regarding almost all decisions creates gossiping culture at lower ranks. - Low bonuses, but salaries made up for this for me.
