Pros

I have only worked with hard working and personable people while at ReedSmith. While some corporations can get bogged down in corporate process and delegation of duties, I have yet to have an experience that is not efficiently addressed, results in quality work, and only strengthens the relationships between coworkers and the company and their clients.

Cons

Not for you if you dislike big corporate structure and process. Sometimes out dated IT hardware and processes for such a sizable company.

Pros

- Great Benefit packages to choose from - Very generous 401k contribution - Considerable amount of PTO for new employees - Awesome people to work with and for - Amazing recognition for the staff that help operations of the firm 'behind the scenes'

Cons

- Pay starting out in IT is average to industry (practically entry level myself though, do expect to grow with time) - a few 'troublesome' people that request IT support, but it is a very small few that can get under the skin

Advice to Management

- Keep up the recognition of the staff's work and duties, it is really appreciated and noticed

The staff and attorneys are good people
Accounts Receivable Cash Receipts Specialist (Current Employee) - Washington, DC - December 22, 2019
A typical day is checking the previous day's cash posting, printing the day cash checking and post any late ACH or Wires, filing lockbox cash receipts, making trust and depository cash deposits. What I've learned is to think smarter be alert at all times check for any mistakes before submitting cash applied, check emails before sending the message out to anyone. Management will give all to help to understand and do a correct job. The hardest part of the job may be to make sure all of the work is finished at the end of each month. The most enjoyable part of the job is knowing all of your work is finished and correct at the end of each day, week and month.

Legal Secretary (Former Employee) - Washington, DC - April 19, 2019
Great work environment and great management. Up to date software and great training classes for secretaries. Very active with community functions which is very impressive. I also like that employees were allowed to participate in these functions.
Secretary to attorney ratio seemed fair. Great location in DC. Holiday time is great with support from management and employees. It made working there very enjoyable.

Cons: Formerly a law firm, now a corporation with poor work-life balance. Managers were mean, selfish, arrogant and dishonest. Ethics were disregarded. No sense of belonging to the department. Avoid Reed Smith if possible.
