Pros

The hours are really light People will know the company. If you enjoy the gratification of that then it's a pro

Cons

Terrible place to start your career. Exit opps are minimal, as you do not have finance experience or real sales experience. You will have to really grind to get out, most intelligent people that got trapped here I saw it take upwards of a 12 months. People will always say you can go work for a client, never saw that happen. You will be extremely micromanaged and your metrics will be based on how many calls you make to clients and if they adopt a function. If you picture yourself calling people all day while they try to do their job to tell them there's a new feature (like right-clicking an instant message to reply directly) as a career, then you will love this job. If you would like to think independently, work in a challenging environment and use your brain a few times a day do not work here. Pay is brutal you will be servicing clients who out of school are making 1.5x you. Your coworkers will tell you that the clients job is going to be automated or is long hours and Bloomberg is a way better spot to work. Usually said coworker is just complacent or unintelligent (plenty of both around). If your options are Northwest Mutual or Bloomberg, I guess take Bloomberg.

Pros

Only a five-hour-per-week time commitment, which is very manageable with my class schedule. Bloomberg provides ideas for challenges and activities to host at my school, so I would not have to come up with everything from scratch. There is flexibility to choose when I table and to tailor the role around my schedule.

Cons

The budget for the program is tight, which is frustrating because advertising to law students is exactly how Bloomberg Law builds a dedicated user base. In my opinion, whoever makes the budget is not seeing the bigger vision. A lot of attorneys may not like Bloomberg Law, use it regularly, or ask their firms to purchase a subscription simply because they were never meaningfully exposed to it in law school. This is exactly why Lexis has taken over in such a big way: its presence and budget are felt at law schools across the country. If Bloomberg wants future attorneys to become loyal users, it needs to invest more seriously in reaching students while they are still learning which legal research platforms they prefer.
