Pros

There is all the coffee you can drink and management is friendly, for the most part.

Cons

The pay is not comparable to the heavy work load. There are some in management (attorneys) who are not friendly at all.

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.
