Avantages
Good benefits and salary, routine hours (now the hours are flexible), bonus program and a casual environment. This is a good job for attorneys looking to leave litigation behind and have a routine schedule with great work/life balance. You get your own case load and the effort you put into the cases is what you get out of it. Don't listen to the gossip and you'll be just fine if you're willing to work!
Inconvénients
There is a lot of work and the work is not always well organized. Some employees have bad attitudes or gossip - surprising from "professionals" This can create a negative environment (see prior posts) and the negative people blame management. The computer systems (subromax and the document management one) too often are slow or freeze so I can't be productive. I understand that there will be a new computer program so hopefully that will help. The office can be way too loud, or way too quiet, it depends. The temperature has gotten a lot better recently but I've been way too hot and way too cold, it depends. I don't have a lot of room to work and it can feel claustrophobic.
