Business outlook
Pros
Midtown locations convenient to multiple subway lines. Free breakfast on Mondays.
Cons
Like the old locker room measurement of success. Staff still treated like plastic utensils. Staff layoffs happening and more to come while some work for 6 or 7 and some newly hired partners luxuriate in a 1:1 setting. Also raises and/or bonuses are paid in mid April for prior year. If you leave before that time you miss out any bonus and back pay you may have earned. Disability benefits are below par in NY area (and probably the country as far as law firms go). Below average vacation/sick time for new hires. Firm systems have been upgraded but still unable to handle the volume. Every other email is about billing and collecting.
