Pros

Good benefits, young and friendly office, good first job. Attorneys and staff are friendly. Oppurtunity to make decent money with overtime.

Cons

Not enough appreciation for lower staff. High turnovers. Every week someone is new and someone is gone. If you make errors on petitioms that you fully prepare yourself, and the attornet reviews it, its your fault if the client complains if theres an issue later. Always easy to blame the assistant paralegal. Also easy to get burned out from massive workload. Monotonous work, high demands from corporate clients, it's just plain boring after a while.

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.
