Pros

Decent salary, nice coworkers (the ones who are also low-level worthless human beings in the eyes of the company), ...free coffee, ...downtown location is kind of nice?

Cons

The attorneys have their noses so high up in the air that they literally walk by admins without even acknowledging that they're alive. I'm surprised they don't walk straight through them. As many others have described the work, it is admin sweat shop style labor.They hire a bunch of people with at least a bachelors degree, many with masters, and expect them to feel good about working (and perform well) for a company that treats them like imbeciles.

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.
