Pros

Decent enough benefits...I can't really think of anything else...

Cons

Long hours, a high expectation of perfection in a small window of time, people are constantly overburdened with tasks, it is really clique-ish by department, very difficult work/life balance - majority of people are resistant to change, to making things easier and faster, and less messy - not an 'online' firm...so many paper files...

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.
