Pros

Easy-going environment. Pay is great, but it is according to experience. Management has an open door policy. Good work ethic will open doors. You have to understand that defense litigation can be a lot of work but this place is worth it!

Cons

Not all staff takes accountability…but I guess that’s everywhere you go!
