Pros

High volume means that there is lots of opportunity to gain great work experience with direct client interaction. Support staff is also very knowledgeable.

Cons

Poor management at all levels. High volume leads to a lot of burnout at associate and caseworker levels. No firm loyalty if you offer even constructive criticism, or if you are on opposite end of political spectrum from managers. Firm is very protectionist and right-leaning. No such thing as work-life balance with very high billing targets, which are set in opaque manner.

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.
