Pros

It's a great place to learn within the first 6 months of working there. And you almost always get the time off you request.

Cons

Extremely understaffed, you are pretty much set up for failure as you can never catch up. The turn over rate is very unsettling. The amount of stress you bring home is unbearable and the pay is insulting.

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.
