Pros

The only pros are the ones that come with any government job, off all State and Federal holidays.

Cons

So many cons, Judges can be mean and condescending to Judicial Assistants, the demand of having to be in the courtroom all the time is draining, the case managers are literally AWFUL, they don't let you work from home and you have to justify all your time off requests. It is not good enough to say that I have a doctor's appointment, you have to tell your manager why you are going to the doctor and what is wrong. The culture is toxic, staff gets to screw around all day. There is literally ZERO training, once you are hired you are on your own. The Clerk of Court is a joke, she has no class and no professionalism. Save yourself the hassle, don't even apply here.

Pros

Better salary than some states for a state trial court clerkship. Good benefits. Very interesting work. Good work/life balance.

Cons

Salary, but that is expected. Unusual to do a judicial clerkship for the salary.

Pros

Decent benifets, generous PTO, semi-fixed schedule.

Cons

Inept leadership, extremely low pay, toxic workplace culture, zero advancement opportunities, obsolete technology, non-acceptance of any suggestion of change, horrible security practices, and a mindset of blame first, improve never. As you are subject to a rigid interpretation of the state's laws, the workplace was actively hostile towards minority groups. People you work with have been in their positions for decades, and stopped learning (or trying) after their first year. The longer you stay here, the less you will be motivated to learn anything new or do things better. Instead, you will begin to find weasely ways to blame your coworkers for your own failings, find excuses not to do work and throw it over the fence, and new ways to waste millions of taxpayer dollars on irrelevant and outdated technology because someone has a friend somewhere who's getting that sweet sweet contract.
