      Isolated and mundane place to work

      Pros

      Seems like compensation and benefits are industry standard. Good employer name if you want to move on in legal field.

      Cons

      No aim to train, educate, or promote paralegals. You are hired to do your job - and your job will remain the same as long as you stay with this firm. Due to the high turnover rate, anyone remaining must pick up slack and also work on anything that surfaces from years past. Isolated and mundane place to work.

      very bright people with complex and demanding work

      Pros

      The work is excellent and the workflow is constant. However, there are few opportunities to move up and most associates end up leaving for other opportunities after a few years.

      Cons

      There is a lack of quality of life and unpredictable hours are the norm. Co-workers are nice but people are very serious and somewhat uptight.
