Pros

good benefits and out side of work events.

Cons

Underpaid and have been the past 2 years. Don't care about staff's development or well being despite them saying they are a supportive employer. Have to work hard endlessly and work hard on performance reviews to receive pittance of a salary in return. They don't value their hard working employees and are willing to see them go.

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.
