Pros

Salary was appropriate for my experience level.

Cons

The firm has a weird cult-like environment. Staff was encouraged to socialize, but back stabbing was the norm. There seemed to be many unspoken job requirements and social duties. Professional input was requested, but immediately dismissed. Senior staff/attorneys dismissive.

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.
