Pros

Once a month you get free bagels.

Cons

Shoddy work done by overworked stressed-out paralegals. The attorneys spend five seconds reviewing paralegal's work product, sign it and send it out the door. If any mistakes are made blame it on the paralegals. Working there is like living a nightmare.

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.
