      Pros

      37.5 min per week, straight time to 42 hrs and time and half for over 42. Great during cap season. How fast you move up depends on time management and how the team your on is managed

      Cons

      Most common starting point is as a temp, and your not always hired on even if your a hard worker.

      Pros

      Decent benefits. Some teams have good management. There is an active social life in the NY office.

      Cons

      Incompetent management. Fragomen has an attorneys vs paralegals mentality. Bad attorneys will be favored over good attorneys or paralegals. Paralegals are viewed as stupid and lowly workers although many paralegals have more immigration experience than the attorneys they work for. Teams are poorly managed by partners who, at times, barely know the names of the paralegals that work for them. Senior attorneys often shift their work to junior associates so they can leave at 5:30 PM. Attorneys will often shift blame to paralegals to cover their own backs. Both junior attorneys and paralegals are overworked without any recognition of the work they do. This is a churn and burn company. This is not a company where you can have a good work life balance.
