The firm is prominent and they offer great benefits. The attorneys are nice to work with

I am not too happy with the way they manage paralegals. I feel like the power is too centralized and there's no room to grow.

Pros

Pay is good, benefits are strong, and PTO is decent.

Cons

It felt quite unsupportive, with management that didn’t provide much guidance or stability. Expectations changed often, which made it hard to stay on track or feel settled in the job. There also seemed to be frequent turnover in the team, which added to the sense of instability and made the workload feel more inconsistent and stressful.
