Pros

Friendly helpful people, distinct system/ way fo doing things, decent pay, good benefits, interesting work.

Cons

Uneven work load, busy sometimes, slow others- slow times make for job security paranoia, management is uneven and not necessarily in your corner. it's a paralegal powered machine, like hamsters in wheels and about as valued.

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.
