Pros

The co-workers are the ONLY pro at this firm. Unfortunately, just as you get to know and like them, they leave either by their own accord or by firing by the worst HR person ever!!!!

Cons

EVERYTHING. As my February post stated, stay far far away if you value simple human decency. I am not sure how or why my post has been removed as it most definitely should not have been. It was a very honest review based upon my experience and my sincere desire to forewarn anyone considering a position within this firm. The biggest CON of this firm are the two managing partners and the HR person. They are a team of 3 who at best do not value ANY employee. If you are an "Admin" with this Firm, I guarantee that not only will you NEVER be appreciated for any of your hard work and dedication, you will be treated with zero respect and in fact will be bullied. While one partner is a bit worse than the other, please know they are hostile, condescending, and intimidating. I have many many years of legal experience and have never in my life been treated so horribly. Please know I am in no way a "disgruntled employee" nor am I a "bad apple who didn't fit in" as one reviewer suggested. If that was in fact the case, how does the firm explain the mass departure of over 16 people within one month's time, many without even having new jobs, as did I, out of sheer desperation and self preservation. And this firm's revolving doors has no end in sight, with the exception of a select few, everyone leaves as quickly as feasibly possible. I have chalked this up to a learning experience. A horrible one, but an experience nonetheless and have found myself within an amazing firm. If I am able to prevent even ONE person from subjecting themselves to such abusive treatment and going through what I went through, then this review has done what the intended purpose of reviews even is. Yes, there have been a couple admins that have lasted with the firm 10+ years. Perhaps it takes that long to be treated decently?

Pros

Coworkers (not supervisors) are great. Flexible hours.

Cons

Awful raises/pay compared to other firms. You could be an above average employee and receive less than a dollar in your annual review for no specific reason at all. For a “prestigious” law firm, you’d think they would be able to pay their hard working staff a respectful rate/salary. Serious lack of quality management. Employees truly are treated as nothing but a number. Reviews are copy and pasted - they do not care about any employees as individual human beings. Favoritism towards supervisors/employees who have stayed with the company for a while. Tasks/responsibilities not delegated equally/equitably amongst team members. Lack of appreciation from Partners on every level. Partners are known to berate employees for small mistakes - occasionally in front of other team members in Zoom meetings. Partners/management ignore any complaints and/or suggestions made by employees. Lack of transparency and communication around expectations. Offer benefits but the insurance is worse than finding obtaining insurance on your own independently. Virtually no room for growth - they’ll make empty promises, though.
