Pros

Working with many young people. Lots of responsibility. Attorneys never discourage overtime, no matter how much.

Cons

VERY HIGH TURNOVER. Expected to work minimum of 50 hours. Huge differences between kinds and amount of work between teams. Had temporary status extended multiple times, which is common for the management of some teams to do to the temp workers. Corporate has recently instituted policy that temps must work 90 work days rather than calendar days before receiving a perm offer.

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.
