Pros

There is a great structure of attorneys and paralegals working hard to help foreign nationals with obtaining work authorization in the US. A great place to learn the ins and outs of immigration law.

Cons

The ratio of paralegals to attorneys is very high; great for paralegals - perhaps not as great for attorneys.

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.
