Pros

Seems like compensation and benefits are industry standard. Good employer name if you want to move on in legal field.

Cons

No aim to train, educate, or promote paralegals. You are hired to do your job - and your job will remain the same as long as you stay with this firm. Due to the high turnover rate, anyone remaining must pick up slack and also work on anything that surfaces from years past. Isolated and mundane place to work.
