Pros

I cannot say enough good things about Phillips Lytle. The firm invests in its associates and works hard to help them develop their professional identities. There are numerous opportunities to obtain first-chair experiences as a young attorney while working on complex and interesting cases.

Cons

There are occasionally late nights, but that is just the nature of the practice. It comes and goes in waves depending on the needs of your cases.

Pros

Ability to work remote however requiring to be near an office that is not the closest location but a "major hub". Why give employees this grief when attorneys are clearing working remote and utilizing those same "non hub' locations.

Cons

working remote attorneys just see that as you have 24/7 access to the system and can do anything for them at any time, You have no personal life and do not receive "on call pay".No discounts in parking if travel to the office is required they state one thing in writing and other in person and your left wondering if the left hand knows what the right hand is doing. Theres poor communication and direction.
