Me too, inNY

I worked there for 2 years at a Midwest office. From my experience it differs from office to office, but the attorneys work a ton of hours and make starting salary of $90k or so. High volume work. Very very low billable rates on the insurance clients. Some attorneys seemed smart and hard working. Others not so much... basically slapped down anything for briefs and did not produce quality work product. So many office politics. Have to have 7 figure book of business to become an equity partner so there aren’t many females at that level. Great trial experience if that’s what you want, but all the attorneys I know wanted to leave and do some other type of work. Very high turnover rate.

I’m not convinced they have ever produced a client for deposition without requiring a year of increasingly hostile meet and confer efforts and a motion to compel.

I’m being slightly hyperbolic. But only slightly.

I have two friends there in the ATL office and they seem to like it. ATL salaries are higher than other insurance defense type firms in the area.

Last week at an office meeting the office manager, in front of everyone, without my knowledge beforehand, announced that I was the only person in the office eligible for a senior position. I was shocked and responded in that way. I have to apply for the position and after some thought I decided I didn’t want to do it. They aren’t offering an increase in base pay and giving me the responsibility of management without the title. Yesterday, I received a PIP is this retaliation?
