Pros

Opportunity for overtime pay, decent work-life balance for about 9 months out of the year (excluding busy season when you are expected and in some instances required to work late and/or on weekends), casual fridays, good benefits, nice people, supportive environment

Cons

monotonous case work, very high volume, busy season (Jan-March) where you are all but required to work late into the night and on weekends, dreary office environment, located in financial district (that may be a plus for some but not for me)

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.
