Red flag-wife of president is HR, toxic workplace (bullying, gaslighting, 100+ case loads with no oversight, trial by fire)
No room for growth if you want to do real federal work and not DBA/Longshore only. Low 100s pay so nice if you’re a recent grad but it is the definition of a toxic work place and paper mill. You can get better pay at other firms if you’re not trying to specialize in the DBA/longshore. High turnover for associates, only promote one associate from each office for partner every year so you could make partner by year 5-6 so that’s nice but if you’re not part of the in crowd you won’t make partner. Run far away

You could not be more accurate about SBSB. I worked there for a few months and it was one of the worst experiences of my life. The people who run this firm, John and Susan, are horrible, hateful people. And the nepotism runs deep. It does not surprise me that John would come here and comment and say that you were wrong and he thinks it’s a great place to work.
