Pros

Reasonable pay, no supervision, office is in a convenient location

Cons

Process & procedure is non existent, you do as the fee earner tells you and then cop the wrath from HR later, junior fee earners are not properly supervised, end of month is a disaster because the fee earners do not submit their time sheets on time, partners do not really engage with staff, secretaries are expected to do the job of an admin assistant, no salary increase instead we were offered one off small bonuses, no pay for overtime, secretary's annual lunch was withdrawn as a benefit, being led my peers who lack tact, diplomacy and fairness.

Pros

Can’t think of any pros

Cons

Toxic management, workplace bullying. No constructive criticism. Even colleagues would be prepared to snake and throw you under the bus instead of trying to support one another.
