Pros

Gain invaluable skills: case/project management; written/verbal communication with stakeholders; business immigration law nuances; problem solving; legal strategy; extreme attention to detail, etc.

Cons

Very heavy case loads and can get repetitive. Due to high work loads across the position spectrum, role sometimes lacks the necessary attorney availability and support. Also, providing a service for which customers are not always grateful or kind. Requires professional attitude, thick skin, and sometimes a sense of humor.

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.
