Pros

I enjoyed the young people I worked with, made a lot of friends, and gained administrative experience.

Cons

The head partner is arrogant and difficult to work with. Their salaries are well below what their peers pay, so turnover is pretty high. Many friends (myself included) tried to negotiate for higher pay or title changes at our yearly reviews, and were basically strung along and told we would be reconsidered in 3 months, but we never were, despite following up. Huge bureaucratic machine, being the largest immigration firm in the world.

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.
