"Be grateful we pay you"

Pros

Remote work is nice, a lot of hybrid roles too.

Cons

They dont respect their employees at all. Every mistake, even ones on other teams, is blown out of proportion. The attorneys are never happy no matter how many improvements are made. Anna is a bully - definitely do not work with her if you can help it. Their entire computer system is so disorganized, the training is confusing and outdated, and if you try to improve anything you will get pushback because its seen as a waste of time. That is if you even have time for that, because they sure don't want to hire enough people to actually manage things successfully. If you dont immediately bow down to upper management in every argument, expect to get harassed out. They dont pay nearly enough for the amount of work and raises are now pitiful. The management acts like you should be grateful they even let you work here.

Pros

The trademark team (not supervisors) are awesome and help support each other through a ROUGH work environment. I learned a lot about trademark law through the process of trying and failing and learning from my mistakes. Much of it was being thrown in the deep end and lots of self-training, but I definitely grew my knowledge and skills. I was also offered a great salary right out of law school - $98,000 for 1600 billable hours (more pay transparency, fellow workers!!) My work life balance was decent and most of us had hybrid flexibility in choosing when to work from home and when to come in office.

Cons

The words that come to mind when I think of my brief time (less than a year was all I could handle) with Anna McCoy as my boss are: berating, sobbing, aghast, oh no. I am a decently tough person. I've never reached the point of tears at a job before. Throw constructive criticism at me all day long, I'll take it with a smile. But I draw the line at blatant mistreatment. While I was paid well for a beginning attorney, the staff on the trademark team were not compensated nearly well enough. A lot of the work they do overlaps with attorney work. I came into this job feeling so excited and lucky that I got to join a woman-led firm, and have an accomplished woman attorney as my mentor. I really, really tried to make things work, to not take things personally, to stay.
