Vantaggi
Nice corporate attorneys; stay away from the litigation, healthcare & tax section teams
Svantaggi
Controlling MP, inexperienced, insecure and never there office manager & inexperienced, micromanaging office coordinator, who only cares about her MP boss and team and only job is approving timesheets, will never go against rainmaker staff, but will be strict with the rest of the staff; Tax team Partner is the rain maker, therefore his assistant enjoys full favoritism, “on call” in office work schedule, extra “remote” time and firm polices do not apply to her regarding PTO, sick time or assistant pool duties. She will end up with excessive roll over PTO at the wnd if the year. Both the MP & the rainmaker assistants constantly complain about their bosses to other assistants in the firm but stay because they enjoy blatant favoritism. Promotions are given only to those who work for the MP or rainmaker, not merit.
If you are a top performer, prepare to be burned out, and excluded, and don’t dare speak up because silence & control are what is rewarded in this firm.
