Cons: 1.0 Current Employee Be Careful Who You Work For Oct 28, 2022 - Lawyer Pros Washington DC: Great Location. Some very nice people Cons Washington DC office: Some people are good to work for, some are extremely difficult. Life is too short to work for someone who does not treat you well. Find people on LinkedIn who used to work at the office you are applying to. Ask their opinions about the people you will be working for. They can give you the most honest assessment because they are no longer tied to the firm. Even people who worked at the firm many years ago can provide valuable insights.1.0 Former Employee, less than 1 year Disorganized May 26, 2022 - Legal Assistant Pros Nothing particularly comes to mind. Cons I felt micromanaged and onboarding training was lacking.I wouldn't recommend working there.Senior Paralegal (Former Employee) - Philadelphia, PA - May 24, 2022They put us on furlough during Covid for 9 months, terminated our health benefits, and told us we were to return to work only to lay off 80% of the firm. They kept two departments running which were allowed to work remotely during Covid telling the rest us they didn't have remote capability. They laid off employees who worked for 30 years plus with no severance pay. Then asked only a few to return. We were instructed to apply for unemployment when they laid us off. My overall experience is that this firm does not care about their employees.

Cons: Management makes promises to associates about their professional development, but in reality, they do not invest in them. Associates are valued based on how much money they bring to the firm and those who do not generate enough billable hours are let go. Overall morale within the firm was low. Suggestions: To improve the firm, management should invest in their associates and focus on their long-term development rather than only considering their billable hours. Lateral hiring is not a sustainable solution.
