Pros

You will learn a lot but at the cost of being overworked, unappreciated and under paid.

Cons

The firm heavily monitors everything you do on the computer and keeps track of what you’re doing every second of the day. They track your phone call history and everyday activity like a hawk. The job will make you feel like you’re always behind on work when in reality there is just too much work for one person to handle. If you don’t work through lunch or overtime you will fall behind and the firm will call you out on that. Low pay but you make up for it by having to do so much overtime. Not a job for someone with other commitments as you will spend all your time working. You can be the perfect employee but they will forget all of your hard work if you make a mistake. Mentally tolling and anxiety inducing.

Pros

As my first post-grad job, I couldn't have asked for a better place to start. I was always able to ask questions about tasks, work, the legal field. Everyone is very kind and easy to talk to. The firm is normally a very calm, comfortable environment. There was flexibility in scheduling and remote options at times, which I really appreciated while preparing for the LSAT. Overtime opportunities as well during the busier season. Overall, very happy with my time at BL.

Cons

The nature of a job like this is generally monotonous at times, which can be initially hard to adjust to. It can be exciting whenever a new case or deadline comes along to shake things up.

Pros

Was consistent and reliable as a first paralegal role.

Cons

Didn’t learn very much that’s actually applicable to being a paralegal anywhere else. No challenges
