Pros
Easy to get the experience needed to get your foot in the door literally anywhere else, since they’ll hire just about anyone.
Cons
It’s hard to even know where to start. Working here is a nightmare and being a client is just as bad. They intentionally stretch the timeline of a case out so they make the most money, leaving people in desperate need of financial assistance to fend for themselves months if not years longer than they should have to. Additionally, clients are treated with little to no respect by staff and individuals who try to treat their clients with even the slightest bit of common decency get chased out of the firm for “wasting time.” Furthermore, attorneys rarely know their cases and even if they do, cases are so poorly developed over the course of the claim even decent cases end up getting denied. And then there’s the nightmare that’s actually working here. Employees are treated with no respect and the ridiculously high turnover rate reflects this. They take advantage of younger people without the job experience for a better job or people from minority groups who have historically been gatekept out of this sort of job, and then saddle them with so much work and such a toxic work environment they eventually have a breakdown and are forced to quit. Furthermore, their HR information is poorly protected, with (past and present) employees addresses, social security numbers, and other private information easily accessible on the server for anyone to see. Which is particularly concerning considering the amount of harassment (sexual and otherwise) that female employees are forced to endure if they want to keep their jobs. Long story short: if you care about yourself or the people you’re working with, don’t bother trying to work here. You’ll be seriously disappointed.
