Pros

An OK place to start if you have no experience working at a law firm. Pay was fair.

Cons

-No training at all. -Incredibly boring, repetitive work. -Senior staff is complacent and is allowed to coast which is likely a product of the incredibly high turnover. -As other reviews have mentioned, the senior staff has little fiefdoms throughout the office which leads to a very toxic environment for newer staff members and attorneys don't care enough about their staff to do anything about it. -No one seemed to take accountability for anything. I've never seen more people thrown under the bus than at this firm. -Not a lot of room for professional growth and development. -Poor overall leadership.

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.
