Pros

Good benefits and easily accessible by public transport.

Cons

Your experience at the firm will be completely different based on what team you are initially placed on. If you feel unfairly treated by your manager or team, there appears to be no opportunity to move. It is my opinion that more and more, staff have been made to feel unappreciated and dispensable.

Pros

Decent overtime pay. I also had a decent training/onboarding experience, but this was not the norm.

Cons

Exploitative, 80+ hour work weeks, 2am messages from attorneys, burn-out model for paralegals and associates (scoop them up after BA or JD and overwork them until they quit), misrepresent case load during interview by 50% of total, low ceiling for non-attorney career advancement. Have an exit plan.
