Pros

The people and team I work with are fantastic!

Cons

None of the higher ups consider market salaries in St. Louis and have convinced themselves that the salaries are good. For toting ourselves as biglaw on all firm social media pages. We may work as much as the large market pay firms. However, we are not compensated like them.

Pros

Respected firm, objective bonus is nice on top of discretionary bonuses.

Cons

Lots of bureaucracy and the help that's promised is rarely actually available.

Pros

The Minneapolis office is a growing office with great opportunities for associates to get hands on involvement with depositions, motion practice and trials. I found my supervising partner to be a great mentor and person. She cared about me as a person and lawyer. I loved my time at Gordon Rees, but left for increased compensation.

Cons

Less than market pay. Senior associate laterals who were cliquey and sophomoric.
