Great learning opportunity, pay, they hire a lot of new grads, half point for good management and working environment

Cons

Work/life balance is off the table, training isn't very comprehensive, hostility from some higher ups at times; all depends what team you're on

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.
