Pros

Short hours, 7.5...so where are all the 'hard-working' people if they are having the April blitz and needed to hire extras?. Nice building.

Cons

I've NEVER been fired in my long career but after reading the other reviews, this looks like par for the course with this company and I could have written those other reviews as my own. I knocked out the paperwork in a few minutes, very easy to do, just idiot work filling out process stuff and I begged for more but they didn't have it. Ended up with grunt work. Very strange experience. If you aren't a 'kid' and 'ethnic' I think you won't fit in. Every time I went by people in their cubes they were playing on their cell phones or with dolls or something. I'm there to work.

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.
