Pros
Pay is not bad for Ithaca. The work is interesting at first. Coworkers and attorneys are generally nice and competent, and give you space if you're good at your job. Flexible schedule. Lots of events, free food and drinks.
Cons
Yearly raises are tiny for hourly employees. Few opportunities for promotion. The work gets repetitive, and only occasionally do you learn new things, even if you proactively hunt for different kinds of cases. Many talented paralegals leave in search of better career growth. Open office layout is lame - preferred the old building. Can't see out of windows. Some attorneys are too non-confrontational and prickly.
