Pros

Filling you with optimism, then crushing your soul.

Cons

NONE OF THESE ARE STATEMENTS OF PROVABLE FACTS. THIS REVIEW CONTAINS FICTION ABOUT ANOTHER COMPANY. Non-discriminatory mass termination effective immediately with no warning. Sad seeing so many great people feel like their lives were falling apart. What an amazing team it was. Had never felt so belonging and valued before. First job out of college. Always put in 100% effort and aspired to be the best. Years later married and feel confident in job stability to afford a mortgage and a non clunker car. Corporate has to manage a budget and the economy wasn't looking good. Head of dept and my direct manager did not know beforehand. Shut out of the system, received phone calls. No chance to say bye. Was stressed about the economy to begin with. You know the rest. Nothing performance based at all. Life's just like that sometimes. $$$ for a while, but had to hurry to gain new employment. Felt like I had to settle and part of my soul hurts that I can't provide like I used to. Ended up with 29% decrease in salary. Would like to have family...things just get setback. Maybe get there one day.

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.
