Pros
Many of my co-workers were pleasant to work with
Cons
Our workload (including, but not limited to, our own work, billing, reception duty when the receptionist was out, work from the overflow box, being assigned to another legal assistant's attorneys when she was out, and mandatory overtime for one full week) was overbearing. We were expected to do the work of 2 or more people without complaining. Worst of all, in addition to the aforementioned, we had to contend with brutal management [js] who - for whatever reason - took great pleasure in berating and belittling the support staff, which constituted a very hostile work environment and high turnover,
