Pros

you can learn there if you are starting a new career

Cons

However, each office is different; the one in Irvine, in particular, has unfair practice. They accuse of you of things you didn't do, the sr. paralegal works with the attorney to conspire against you because she doesn't like you, you get fired for no apparent reasons. I was there from 2004 to 2008.

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.
