Pros

The paralegals were fun to work with. Amongst the paralegal, we helped each other out and became like a family. Learned the most from other fellow paralegals.

Cons

Where to start...the managing partner is on a power trip and makes rule that are so ridiculous but are only meant to further his power within the firm. paralegals get all the blame for mistakes and there is very little training. anything done correctly is usually credited to the attorneys. people are constantly getting laid off and fired and all paralegals are in fear that they are next. there are few events that show any employment appreciation. although there defiantly are some supervisors that sympathize with the paralegal's poor treatment, majority of the higher staff are not willing nor have the time to train the paralegals properly. In addition, the company hires majority of their staff with little experience allowing them to pay extremely minimally. For such a big internationally known firm, you would think the pay would be a bit more decent especially with the amount of money the partners are making.

Pros

Quick hiring process and monthly office happy hour. Very few organizational layers and affable lawyers. Complaince law firms are generally less stressful work environments.

Cons

Unambitious work colleagues and lost of micro-managing by higher-ups. Then again, it is a law firm so the micro-managing is to be expected. Few incentives to build a career at the firm, which is a shame since a lot more people would stay on if they knew what to plan for.
