Pros

It looks good on your resume when you jump ship for another job.

Cons

-No proper training. Work is thrown at you and you're expected to figure it out on your own. If you don't find a co-worker to pester every minute of every day for help when you first start working here you'll probably have a hard time. -Compensation is laughable for the amount and complexity of some of the work you're expected to handle. -Micromanagement by individuals who lack leadership and organizational skills. -Temps are not treated with respect.

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.
