Pros

Good overall culture. Nice canteen and hybrid work schedule.

Cons

Junior salaries are well below market standards for firms of this size. Overtime is regularly expected with no overtime pay or time back. Development for junior staff is not a priority and really dependant on line manager willingness to engage. This is a key reason why turnover for positions is so high.

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.
