Pros

Flexible hours and not a rigid schedule each day. However, more supervisors/mangers will rely more on the online status from your laptop than your actual presence. - You will work on some of the best clients in Chicago

Cons

In the Chicago M&D group the partner leadership is pathetic. Laid off lower level workers because of horrible upper management planning. No partner was affected by their mistakes and instead lower level employees took the burden. Rather than being understanding and take some accountability , the managing partner leads a weak and pompous meeting to explain the utter stupidity of the partners and brag how big the practice is. When asked about the affect on current employees compensation the managing partner could not care less. One partner probably makes more than 4-5 lower level employees combined. Absolutely nothing wrong with that, but should be an indicator to even pretend like you care about your staff when they have concerns due to your improper running of the business.

Pros

If you are in the right team, with good seniors and good managers you will have a good time with the work. Hybrid was a very nice touch, they were pretty good about allowing you your two days at home if you wanted them. Benefits were decent

Cons

Very, very team dependent. A ton of seniors seriously don't want to teach at all. I remember coming up, and even after I was a senior, listening to people complain so much that they got a first year, and they did not want to teach them or didn't have time to. Its a huge popularity contest on if you get good jobs or not. Partners will make you work the most crap jobs and keep all the good jobs for their favorites. They use and abuse people so often. Got laid off 1 day after the busy season.
