Pros

Free Food. Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner is covered. Good Benefits.

Cons

Work is repetitive. Data entry all day. No transferable skills. Flat Structure. No Room for growth. There are people there that have been in the same position for 20 years. Add that along with the sheer Nepotism that goes on in this place. it's a old boys club in the Skillman office. The dusty old men there will literately stop you in the hallway/bathroom/cafeteria just to make you suck up to them. It's worst than high school if you are not down with the clique. If you have any drive or self worth this not the place for you. The petty politics and repression will crush you if you allow it. You will be exploited until you get fed up and just quit. I honestly believe that is embedded into the culture in the Skillman office and Management wants it that way.

Pros

Only a five-hour-per-week time commitment, which is very manageable with my class schedule. Bloomberg provides ideas for challenges and activities to host at my school, so I would not have to come up with everything from scratch. There is flexibility to choose when I table and to tailor the role around my schedule.

Cons

The budget for the program is tight, which is frustrating because advertising to law students is exactly how Bloomberg Law builds a dedicated user base. In my opinion, whoever makes the budget is not seeing the bigger vision. A lot of attorneys may not like Bloomberg Law, use it regularly, or ask their firms to purchase a subscription simply because they were never meaningfully exposed to it in law school. This is exactly why Lexis has taken over in such a big way: its presence and budget are felt at law schools across the country. If Bloomberg wants future attorneys to become loyal users, it needs to invest more seriously in reaching students while they are still learning which legal research platforms they prefer.
