      Not particularly legal work- more admin - Paralegal Assistant Crown Prosecution Service Employee Review

      Pros

      It was interesting to get to sit in on hearings and trials- hearing about the crimes etc. It is useful in getting court experience and I would recommend if you are wanting to be a barrister as it is really good exposure to what the barristers do and also getting to meet them and make connections. Work can get very repetitive each day which makes it very boring,

      Cons

      The work is very clerical and administrative- it's not really paralegal work, there is no legal work involved. It is more about noting down what happens in hearings/trials and putting in the system. Actual legal work is done by paralegal officers. If you want a more legal role, go for PO. Pay also doesn't really reflect the role.

      Pros

      regular work holiday entitlements some job security

      Cons

      I can only speak for London but anedotal evidence suggest this plays out throughout the organisation. many staff are earning much higher rates on old systems of pay so there is a wide disparity of staff pay. Any person thinking of this employer should read several of the public staff surveys especially regarding bullying, treatment of staff, poor performance and poor leadership and staff morale, treatment of staff on disability and equality and corporate discipline. Additionally any person joining should check stats on diversity and fairness and google the organisation regarding legal suits that may have been against it. Anyone even considering joining should be unionised immediately I could not in all concscience recommend this employer at all
