Pros

Fragomen was a great place to start a career in immigration. There is a very high volume and fast pace The work was rewarding and exciting The attorneys did their best to encourage growth Overtime was a plus (salary non-exempt)

Cons

Extremely high turnover and extremely long hours There was little to no room to grow once a knowledge base was formed, it was far easier to grow by leaving Being offsite from an office was a blessing and a curse. There were opportunities that were not afforded to colleagues in offices but the remoteness made a small team feel like a pawn between the firm and client. There was little to no interaction with attorneys, upper management, or colleagues other than over IM which was isolating.

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.
