Pros

You won't physically die. You gain a healthy appreciation for suicidal thoughts. You will have ample time to ponder the monotony of existence while working at your standing desk. You will understand what incompetence really means.

Cons

You will slowly die inside. Your IQ will drop 20 points just by being here. Your time at this legal sweatshop, filling forms, sending mail, and updating old computer systems (Lotus Notes? Really?) will be worth absolutely nothing to other employers. Nothing you do here will help advance your career or life in anyway. The pay is a joke. Almost as much of a joke as the lawyers are.

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.
