Pros

Good camaraderie among non-attorney staff. The Firm tries hard to maintain energy and morale when the work starts to overwhelm -- communal baked goods on Fridays, employee appreciation week, holiday potlucks, etc. Good emphasis on community involvement and volunteerism.

Cons

The work is by nature endlessly repetitive; not much chance of change there but worth mentioning. Technology is also a constant struggle. Even when everything is working properly, the systems leave you wanting more in terms of functionality and ease of use.

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.
