Pros

Attorneys are helpful and positive! Partner is super friendly and approachable. Great benefits and cool laid back environment. Office location is in the heart of the financial district and have access to great restaurants around the area.

Cons

Management/Supervising Paralegals tend to focus on the mistakes and are quick to point the finger at YOU. Lack of empathy and consideration.

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.
