Pros

Client / account management responsibilities early on in your career Opportunity for growth Discretion in day-to-day work flow and client communication Immediate supervisor

Cons

Compensation should be in line with other AMLAW firms - particularly when billing requirements, work hours, revenue, and per partner profits are all in line with other AMLAW firms; Support - correctly identifying where the team needs additional support; Technology - this is quite possibly the biggest “con”, which is investment in building proprietary software and infrastructure, an unbelievably expensive task for a law firm; Opaque path to partnership - criteria?; Lack of consistency between teams on the approach to similar situations and poor internal communication to adopt a single approach as one firm.

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.
