Pros

The company has a good salary and benefits package, and overall takes care of employees with many "little extras" like catered lunches and staff parties.

Cons

The workload is often very heavy, and can sometimes be incredibly monotonous. This monotony can ruin the job for many people, and it's a large reason why turnover is so high.

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.
