Pros

For attorneys, there are a lot of really smart people who work here that take the job because of excellent work-life balance. An opportunity to have lots of independence and take control of your cases and learn a lot. There's hardly any turnover. Most people work here for their entire careers.

Cons

The pay is truly terrible.
