Pros

-Learn a variety of visa types -Front-facing with clients -Good stepping stone to in-house work

Cons

-Work/life balance is non-existent. You can work 60+ hours/week and be told it's not enough -The pay is extremely low and is standard across the firm. Those in Los Angeles make the same starting salary as those in Phoenix, Atlanta, Boston, etc. -The culture is toxic. The work volume is super high and management does not get the support they need, which leads them to take it out on their reports. It was constant apologizing/fear of being fired. If you made it past hire/fire day each week, you could relax and know you were employed one more week.

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.
