Pros

The only pro is that this firm is great for an entry level start to your career in legal. Although the training is nonexistent (essentially, you're thrown to the wolves b/c no one has time to train new comers), you'll catch on within a few weeks.

Cons

The contributions to 401ks have been frozen since the first half of 2023. Overtime has been taken away - and the workload only increases. There is no work life balance. I was contacted while on PTO and ridiculed for not having access to a computer while away. Clear favoritism in the office - good luck progressing if you're not one of the "favorites".

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.
