Pros

They try to have there be an office culture, but it doesn't really work and feels very stilted.

Cons

The organization, training, and communication are terrible. I frequently got yelled at for not doing things that nobody told me to do or were never explained to me. The work environment felt totally toxic and I'm so grateful I got out. Low pay and long hours.

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.
