Pros

This company offers competitive benefits, and no micromanaging superiors. The general office ambiance is pleasant, the break room has a great view, and there are free beverages, coffee, and sodas in the break room. Plenty of space to separate yourself from others.

Cons

The work may sometimes overwhelm. The people you are servicing don't always have the best attitude and the pay is less than you would expect with the level of stress this job puts on you. Your work is never over.

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.
