Take a break now and then, they are understanding and will work with you to balance work/life.

I've been here for 3 years and I've been promoted twice. They have an excellent structure in place for getting advanced.

The hours are long and demanding. They compensate well, but you will be exhausted if you take all the work you can.

Offer training courses for secretaries. Keep on growing and expanding.

The offices are renovated and the cafeteria is great. There is a good corporate culture. It has a great reputation.

There is not enough appreciation for senior partners. Be prepared to work on weekends.

I'd definitely recommend applying to this firm if they have an opening. But it might be more suitable as a stepping stone to a better-paying job in the future.

Solid law firm where professionalism is emphasized

Unfortunately, sometimes the compensation isn't on par with what other law firms are offering. Comparing the statistics, it appears this firm's average compensation is a bit on the low side.
