Pros

The pay is great because it’s a law firm. That’s about it.

Cons

Everything else - if you aren’t a JD, be prepared to be treated like an idiot, talked down to, slave ridden by most of the old school Partners. There are some really nice ones. Most don’t know a thing about how to market themselves or the firm as a whole. The most backwards environment ever. There is no governance with regards to human capital structure, management, performance, employee conduct, etc. everyone in a position of power can do whatever to whomever and because it’s a law firm. You have subzero empowerment and there is absolutely no one and nothing to go to. There is no E&C hotline, HR has been around for 30+years so you know they work for the firm not for the people. It’s an absolutely awful, toxic environment.
