1. It will depend on the workload of the Partner/law firm. If they have decent workload, you will get some quality work otherwise run of the mill grunt work including secretarial work. Do not consider, secretarial work as a bad work. Just learn this kind of work, may be useful at a later point in your career.
2. It is very common. Some may not wait for 6 months. Now, since you are already working, I do not know if you did any DD around the Partner / law firm before accepting the offer.
3. Yes, it will. Try and complete atleast 2 years. If the work place becomes too toxic, then leave. No point in sticking where your mental and physical health is compromised. Career choice is a very personal choice. Please consult your mentors, teachers or any one on whom you have trust to guide you through this.
