Easy job

Business Outlook

Pros

Easy for me. Very lavish benefits, set hours, even flex time (4-day weeks, etc.). Location within an easy commuting distance (for me).

Cons

The work is non-essential. A waste of taxpayers' money. You sit in your cubicle and waste the day away.

Great place to work and make connections if you want to go into Law

Intern

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Very understanding of needing time off for school. Supervisors also allow you to go to the court room and gain first hand experience in a trial. Overall a very enjoyable environment to work for.

Cons

Work given to interns is very tedious and at times can be very boring. You dont really stretch your thinking in the work they give you, but if you are in the criminal division, the cases you are filing for can be very interesting.
