Pros

Great PTO time, great benefits.

Cons

Horrible management in the ATLANTA office. This place is essentially a white-collar sweatshop. You are set up for failure on a daily basis and you are only as good as your last mistake. It is a toxic environment to work in and HR does not care at all about the working conditions. I saw paralegals cry regularly because of the verbal abuse spewed by the attorneys. I have now been at a different firm for about 7 months and the difference in how paralegals are treated is night and day

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.
