The people I worked with were like family, the work I did here was interesting, and the freedom I was given helped me become a more confident and creative person. Also, the building is in a perfect location downtown near everything.
Klarquist has a great location at the World Trade Center in Portland and is easily accessible by many forms of public transportation. The benefits are great and the wages are also a plus. There are a lot of good people working at the firm.
Cons
Do not expect your manager to stand up for you against senior personnel. This includes attorneys and staff. Sharing of knowledge is dependent on whether or not your manager likes you on a personal basis which may set an individual up for failure. Do not expect assistance from HR, they seem to base their opinion on what is told to them by the manager. This is not conducive to supporting the end-user community and creates an undue level of stress in the workplace. There is also not much diversity at the firm.
