Pros

- A lot of good people - Not bad first job in early 20s

Cons

- If you are looking for respect and mentorship, I would not recommend this office. - There is no work-life balance, expect your work to never be enough and to be treated like a towel that they will wring dry until the threads snap. - Describing management as disfunctional, uncoordinated, self serving, and apathetic to their staff is a bit too generous as it leaves so much on the table left unsaid. - Look forward to bribes of alcohol and pizza for all the burn out you will be experiencing along with a 2% - 4% annual salary raise of an underpaid job to begin with. - Benefits are only worth it if you stay for over 3 years and that's if they don't suspend benefits. They suspended benefits last year and is still ongoing. - HR is abysmal. That's all I'll say.

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.
