Pros
I guess the benefits are adequate and vacation time is good after you have been with the company for a few years. Everything else about this place is unimaginably horrible.
Cons
If you are considering working in the global side of the Matawan office – great! If you are considering employment on the legal side of the Matawan office – run as fast as you possibly can. In the year that I was with the firm, the turnover in the department was rampant. Every day someone else announced their resignation. I had friends on 5 different teams and each of them was extremely unhappy with their management and treatment. If you are compliant and able to take verbal and emotional abuse on a daily basis you will advance and join the ranks of managing paralegals. If you in anyway voice your concern or unhappiness with mistreatment to Human Resources or your management you will be held at a low level without promotion (happened to several of my friends) for years, or fired without behavioral or work issues being cited as the cause. I still have nightmares about working at this office, about my boss, and about the copious amounts of dirt HR swept under the rug. Do not think you will be valued. You are easily replacable and they make that well known.
