Pros

The people without a doubt - as with any office you find people that you just don't have much in common with, or particularly like. But the employees are so diverse you can't really go wrong - you'll always meet a bunch of people you become great friends with

Cons

The pay... below market rates generally. The starting rate hasn't been changed in over 10 years - that is a fact. I think 5-10 years ago, pay reviews etc were fantastic, but since hierarchy has had a reshuffle, they've cut back in a big way in this area... i can only remember 1 or 2 people employed in the last couple of years who were happy with their pay reviews

Pros

Only a five-hour-per-week time commitment, which is very manageable with my class schedule. Bloomberg provides ideas for challenges and activities to host at my school, so I would not have to come up with everything from scratch. There is flexibility to choose when I table and to tailor the role around my schedule.

Cons

The budget for the program is tight, which is frustrating because advertising to law students is exactly how Bloomberg Law builds a dedicated user base. In my opinion, whoever makes the budget is not seeing the bigger vision. A lot of attorneys may not like Bloomberg Law, use it regularly, or ask their firms to purchase a subscription simply because they were never meaningfully exposed to it in law school. This is exactly why Lexis has taken over in such a big way: its presence and budget are felt at law schools across the country. If Bloomberg wants future attorneys to become loyal users, it needs to invest more seriously in reaching students while they are still learning which legal research platforms they prefer.
