      Pros

      Great salary, flexible hours, polite attorneys, company perks & parties, fair PTO & sick time, no minimum billing requirement. Great office location.

      Cons

      Work load is uneven - too much one week, little the other; senior paralegals get more opportunity to bill and hand pick the best cases.

      It was a very stressful and mostly bad experience. I did enjoy some of the people I worked with (attorneys included)

      Pros

      Good pay. Most of the co-workers were very approachable and really nice when it came to questions I had about cases. Very good when it came to asking for vacation or just needed time off.

      Cons

      Sweat shop! Very stressful environment. Absolutely no room for error. Worked close to 80 hours a week on some occasions.

      Pros

      healthcare benefits are great. decent vacation time, just be prepared to work like a dog before and after any time off. the internal training is great, I mean they wrote the textbooks on most of this stuff, so they do know their stuff, great place to get experience. immigration law changed? they have committees that study and analyze it and send out a client alert before it hits the evening news.

      Cons

      you will make significantly less than your counterparts at other firms, while carrying more responsibility, more caseload. you can be immaculate in all your work, but they will only remember the one time you messed up (even though not your fault since it went through extensive multi-tier reviews). every flaw will be spotlighted at your annual review, and you will receive token raises for cost of living. you will be constantly pushed to produce ever increasing petitions, while completing 20 checklists for each, and get ready for lots of data entry. a very unhappy place where people are expected to work as many hours as needed to keep the clients happy. unrealistic expectations galore. very stressfull....
