Pros

Great benefits, you learn a lot of information very quickly, other than that, there are no pros to this company

Cons

Terrible work environment, you receive different instructions from different people, no training is provided, HR does little to help those low on the totem pole, the entire office is silent all day every day

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.
