Pros

Team spirit and general camaraderie between attorneys, paralegals, and support staff. Training was good and there was a general, collegial work atmosphere.

Cons

Terrible management clique and not a little bit of bitterness between sr. Attorneys who seemed to transfer their misplaced resentments upon jr. staff. The layoffs were terrible and while supervisors set expectations, they also willfully undermined those who weren't deemed a good fit - usually for maintaining some degree of individuality and self-dignity.

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.
