Pros

Easy interview. The building was nice.

Cons

They expect workers to put an absurd amount of over time. Most weeks I was working over 50 hours. They rather over work an employee than hire someone else to help with the workload. I spoke to my supervisor about it, and told her that I could no longer do overtime because I wanted to take a class in the evenings after work. She replied, “do you need to take that class? Or it is just for fun?”. I did not welcome that question since it was none of her business how I wanted to use my free time.

Pros

Decent overtime pay. I also had a decent training/onboarding experience, but this was not the norm.

Cons

Exploitative, 80+ hour work weeks, 2am messages from attorneys, burn-out model for paralegals and associates (scoop them up after BA or JD and overwork them until they quit), misrepresent case load during interview by 50% of total, low ceiling for non-attorney career advancement. Have an exit plan.
