Pros
Staff are super nice people
Cons
Support evaporated after first few days. No one goes into office or answers phones or emails on Fridays (work from home, in theory), so there’s really no one to help. Unreasonable expectations on how fast one should be “up to speed” considering the above. O/T is expected in the first 3 months to get up to speed, however, just because you’re doing OT doesn’t mean anyone else who you need help from is. No other law firm I’ve worked at wanted to pay OT unless they could bill it. Date gatekeeping on deadlines, you just go with what is thrown at you that day despite deadlines being weeks away. Ridiculous. So many red flags- no breaks on the first day of orientation other than lunch. Not very good vacation time (10 days- even other law firms offer 15), no 401(k) for first year. Legal secretary doing paralegal level work for lower pay.
