Pros

They do care about you and there is a feeling that they genuinely want to do better in the future when it comes to social issues

Cons

If you are a woman your chances of ever becoming a partner are somewhere between slim and nonexistent in most offices. Pay is okay but nothing to write home about. There are definitely law firms that have sweeter deals.

Pros

- Excellent pay and benefits - Flexibility with the hybrid schedule (depending on your practice group) - Easy to build community with other assistants and paralegals

Cons

- Easy to fall into burnout due to understaffing in assistant/paralegal positions - Be prepared for an unexpectedly higher or lower workload at any point. - D.C. location is particularly strict about the hybrid expectations - A bit disorganized as a whole when it comes to onboarding and training for your particular practice group.
