Pros

Used to be a supportive, team oriented environment. Fair benefits (paid time off, 401k, medical). Casual dress is OK, when not meeting with clients.

Cons

Clients (or should I say the foreign nationals) complain that they never can speak with an attorney and all work is done by legal assistants. Employees can expect to be hired into a position and never experience any growth. The company culture does not support growing the employee. In general employees are not support by their bosses. Company tends to "manage out" long-term employees, in favor of hiring lower paid, inexperienced workers.

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.
