Pros

Amazing office, private caffeteria, good workload. People (outside of work) were very nice and friendly. Its in the heart of manchester so commute is easy and stress free.

Cons

Manager didnt have my back, used all critism against me, wasnt constructive, just belittling, some partners were rude and impatient. No training method other than "figure it out like i did". Not only is unpaid overtime encouraged, but i was asked "why didnt you work more overtime?"

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.
