Hands on experience as an attorney in a number of different capacities- grassroots, state/fed litigation, client communication, etc.
Cons
Heavily influenced by the personality of the executive director. If you don't get along with him, you may not enjoy the job.

you will learn a lot, minimal supervision, casual dress code
Cons
zero training or guidance; you are thrown in to sink or swim but what is at stake are client's immigration cases so there's no room for trial and error. minimal pay all the while you will be made to wear multiple hats and complete constant tasks outside of your job description. zero appreciation or respect of any boundaries from executive director, he treated all us legal assistants as personal assistants and demanded things be done without providing enough information. he what make us feel small, would take calls and ignore us while demanding we stay seated in front of him waiting for his attention, and would be extremely rude to me and insensitive to clients during interviews.
