      Pros

      Hodgson Russ LLP uses top-notch technology and offers extensive training for employment.

      Cons

      The firm allows and condones attorney mistreatment of their employees. It is common place for bosses to belittle their secretaries/paralegals which fuels the extremely poor employee morale. Human resources offers little relief to this behavior and "secretarial leads" serve as biased liaisons between attorneys and their assistants.

      Pros

      The benefits are pretty decent.

      Cons

      The attorneys LOVE the hierarchy of the organization and definitely look down upon the staff as if they're lesser human beings. They want you to believe that they're VERY important people, but don't let them fool you, they're really nothing special. They think the sun, the moon and the stars revolve around themselves because they went to law school. Get real.

      Pros

      There are plenty of reasons why people work here their entire lives. Opportunities are rich at Hodgson Russ. You have the ability to move up and really build professional connections throughout the building. The initial training provided is excellent. It’s hard to grasp it all, but it’s really good. The subsequent lunch and learns are also a great resource to brush up on skills. The compensation and benefits provided by the firm are very competitive. I would not be surprised if the benefit packages are the best offered among all the law firms in the Buffalo area. The work is interesting and although the workload can be overwhelming at times, there is a great sense of work/life balance if you are part of the staff.

      Cons

      While the initial training is great, some departments need to train their paralegals and associates in the actual work done in their department. By not providing adequate training, you’re setting them up to fail and it causes difficulty in retaining top talent. Their are also some attorneys (very few) that treat their staff terribly and go through a scary amount of secretaries in a short amount of time. It is known throughout the firm who these individuals are, but nothing is done to correct that behavior. It’s unfortunate because you lose good people by not addressing these issues.
