Soul-Sucking Corporate America at its Worst

Pros

The coworkers were really the only positive thing about this place. Equally unappreciated and overworked, often all the APs and Ps would band together, still working hours after all the more senior management / attorneys had long gone home. During CAP season, expect the office to be full of candy and COSTCO catered lunches!

Cons

Quantity over quality. Constant technological failure that is beyond absurd (Lotus Notes, seriously?! It would crash constantly making it impossible to meet deadlines even if you weren't already swamped). Little to no training (other than power point slides), or worse, conflicting training which, when things go awry, always fall to the blame of the APs rather than management. Little value to life outside the office. Expect to stay late, work weekends (during CAP especially), and have little to no work/life balance. The only saving grace will be your coworkers, and hopefully at least one attorney on your team.

Pros

A good place to gain experience for inexperienced liberal arts graduates. Also the office is really nice/ swanky. Benefits probably better than the actual pay.

Cons

Employees are generally treated as replaceable as evidenced by Fragomen's over reliance on temp agencies. If you object to the mindless and routinized work of a beginning administrative assistant, there is no shortage of unemployed and willing individuals back at the temp agency. Unfortunately, Fragomen exploits that to its advantage.

Pros

Fast paced environment where a lot can be learned. Many great coworkers.

Cons

An excess of work with very little option for a health work life balance.
