Pros

You don't have to take work home! Raises fair, but often salaries are higher at other firms, especially considering the lack of bonuses.

Cons

No bonuses, Receive excellent annual review but your position will be stagnant for awhile. A lot of extra duties with little recognition as far as training/helping new staff and taking on new work. Office culture is pretty low. Not very social.

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.
