Pros

You learn a lot fast and the immigration landscape changes constantly based on politics

Cons

You basically do all the work from case forms, client contact, document gathering, filing and billing and the leads/attys just review and advise. Help is difficult to get in a timely manner unless you reach out to your overworked peers and you are kept in the dark about changes until the last second

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.
