No Job Growth. Ok place if you can handle poor treatment.

Paralegal

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Large number of clients. Plenty of mind-numbing work.

Cons

Very cliquish. Attorneys treat paralegals poorly and feel entitled to talk down to them. I would call it "mansplaining" but it was mainly done by the female "partners" (nearly every attorney is a partner at this firm). No opportunity to move out of the box you are put in. No opportunities to learn and grow.
