Pros

*Learn multiple new case types at a fast rate *Gain amazing immigration skills *Learn interesting insights into the field *Network with clients

Cons

*Windowless environment *Training is always "High Level Overview" and never granular, leaving new hires to struggle and causing issues when teams have high level attrition *Work 9+ hours days without high pay *Requires unsettling loyalty. If loyalty is questioned- be prepared to be blacklisted. Talking about job aspirations with co-workers can be seen as not being "loyal" to the firm. *Salutations and Questions are distractions - just work or face consequences (best for those who get to do the job fully remote) *High anxiety knowing everything can come back to be blamed on paralegals even though attorneys sign off. *Saw multiple people cry on the job from stress and mistakes

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.
