Pros

You will learn a great deal. You will work with some very smart individuals. You will learn to work efficiently in a quick paced environment. Salary is comparable to other firms. Benefits are comparable, if not better than other firms. Bonuses appear to be based on merit, not length of time with company. You will have a great deal of work which will make the day go by faster.

Cons

You will not be able to showcase any talents. You will not be utilized to your fullest potential. You will be judged based on management's personal preferences. You will not be respected for the quality of your work. You will deal with lots of pettiness. You will need to have a thick skin. You will need to realize that promotions are not based on merit, so if this is your motivation, you will not thrive. You will have to watch your back.

Pros

For entry level you'll learn a lot in this role. Most lawyers/employees are friendly and understand new hire learning curves. Pay is decent for entry level. Good health insurance. Team is very supportive first couple months on my own and trying to ramp up.

Cons

The manager of this department is TOXIC. People Brown Nose in this department and report things back to her to make themselves look good. She put me on the email box for 7 hours out the day for 3 months straight until I got burnt out to try to "push me out" of the department. If you're Black you will see how she speaks to you vs the Hispanics in the department. She talks to you in a belittling way pointing out your mistakes more than your improvements. She sends passive aggressive emails to the point you would rather seek help from the team or another department before going to her. She doesn't have any technical skills or background. All she good for is a resource bank to know where incidents need to be directed to. DO NOT ENTER THIS DEPARTMENT YOU WILL REGRET IT!

Pros

Great pay, great benefits, great vacation policy. Paid parking in the Charlotte, NC firm.

Cons

No support from management. Just kept piling more work on staff who could do the work, but let the slackers get away with murder. I worked for FOUR PARTNERS while the girl next to me worked for one partner and one associate. Other secretaries didn't have half the workload that I did. I have no love for the office.
