Pros

Good remote working policy Mediocre benefits

Cons

Absolutely the worst job I’ve ever had in my pretty long career. Unmanageable case load, overdemanding clients and a CYA mentality between colleagues. Everyone is just trying to survive, there is no team work and no real leadership whatsoever. Constant micromanagement. Management cares more about mundane issues rather than the well being of the staff. Constant turnover of employees. The caseload, unrealistic deadlines, micromanagement, fault blaming and the lack of work life balance puts a real toll on your mental health. No self respecting individual should work here!

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.
