Pros

Advertised 2+ to 20 yrs administrative experience and I was excited to have the opportunity gain more in-depth knowledge

Cons

Position actually required 10+ years paralegal experience; assigned attorney was very difficult/not open to inquiries/no learning curve; and working OT (although prior approval is required) counted against your proformance review, annual increase as well as bonus.

Pros

Unfortunately, there weren't any pros. They lure you in with the promise of many things and what a great company it is, but unfortunately I found this to be a lie. There is no diversity in their VA office and it's almost as though they want you to fail.

Cons

If you a minority, unfortunately, you won't stand a chance in this particular environment. You are doomed before you ever get started. Every person who in fact had the position has failed miserably because they intended it to be that way.
