Pros

The salary was the best in my career.

Cons

Horrible culture. Cannot raise opinions. Must be a yes man. Training was on weekends, and not did not get paid overtime. No educational support. No client referrals. Everybody is out for themeselves. If not chargable work, nobody will help you.

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.
