Pros

There were some really kind and nice lawyers at the firm but management is inhumane.

Cons

Unnecessary management systems and “challenges”that some managers take very seriously instead of client service. Workload is insane. Only someone who has no family or life would be able to survive. Humiliating team meetings and morning greetings of “Wipper!!” Doesn’t matter if your family member is sick and you have to take care of them , no compassion, more files your way. You may be asked what cases you prefer to work on, only to be humiliated the next day at a team meeting that you were hired to work on certain cases. As soon as you receive last document from client, you must file the very same day. If the system is experiencing a glitch, file it anyway. Find a way. Management is well aware you are overworked and will say to put your feet up and drink wine ( without even knowing whether you drink or not) Beyond cruel. Don’t work here. If you work here, work somewhere else, where you are treated as a human being.

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.
