      Structural Inequities

      Paralegal
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Your coworkers - the hiring committee really knows how to pick the best and brightest. 2. Challenging work - the Paralegals learn to do everything the Attorneys do except for recruiting new clients

      Cons

      The company does not seem to care about keeping Paralegals. They would rather train and hire new Paralegals than pay for a raise or other incentives for their current employees. As a result, there is a very large turnover rate among Paralegals within the firm. Eventually, doing 100% of the drafting and most of the client communication for 1/3 - 1/5 the pay of the Attorneys and Partners gets old.

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Opportunity to work as part of a large firm, some very pleasant clients, fairly good compensation for the immigration field.

      Cons

      Accounts are very poorly staffed and unable to handle the massive volume of casework. Clients are constantly deceived into believing that there is a "team" preparing each case. Sorry, but it is not true. Entry-level paralegals operate with very little oversight and few check-and-balances to ensure quality of work. There is absolutely no work-life balance. Turnover is extremely high and the work environment morale is awful - a large number of paralegals and attorneys only stay for a few months. Emphasis was on profitability rather than client service. Partners are surprisingly unaware of the substantive law.

      Low salary compared to peers

      Administrative assistant
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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.
