Pros

Great base pay plus over time. Fair contribution towards benefits. Company did some fun activities for employees.

Cons

This position was exceedingly stressful. Really not worth it unless you really need a job. You do all your own filing, copying, and collating. I spent just as much time doing that secretarial work as the real paralegal work. You'll spend a lot of time writing very boring support letters on topics which you'll hardly understand which makes it even more boring and awful. The other paralegals there are very young and have a catty attitude making it an unfriendly place at times. The management think you're a robot and assign very heavy case loads. Monthly billing goals were unrealistic.

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.
