Pros

-Health benefits -Good training provided on a National level (away from the office)

Cons

-My writing was always open to attack on purely subjective and arbitrary grounds. I also received different and incompatible advice from mentors/ management who reviewed the exact same writing. -No variety -Work in isolation - Unreasonable time demands. As an attorney advisor, I was provided instructions from judges that were often full of mistakes and I was responsible for fixing the judge's mistake. I then had to get permission to fix the mistake (and hope that I did not offend a judge by asking to make a change), review hundreds of pages of medical and other records and finally write a "legally sufficient" and perfect document within one day. -Terrible Management. The worst I have ever experienced during my 35 year work history.
