Pros

Has a great mission and goal and the people all truly care about what they are doing for their community as public servants

Cons

The expectations on the clerks are ridiculous. They are expected to know and understand the law but with no law degree. Attorneys usually practice the law in 1 field (like probate, criminal, divorce etc.)...well a clerk is expected to know all of them. And the amount of work that is pouring (even worse after the pandemic) is all falling to those poor clerks. And they get paid way under the national average.

Pros

Better salary than some states for a state trial court clerkship. Good benefits. Very interesting work. Good work/life balance.

Cons

Salary, but that is expected. Unusual to do a judicial clerkship for the salary.

Pros

Decent benifets, generous PTO, semi-fixed schedule.

Cons

Inept leadership, extremely low pay, toxic workplace culture, zero advancement opportunities, obsolete technology, non-acceptance of any suggestion of change, horrible security practices, and a mindset of blame first, improve never. As you are subject to a rigid interpretation of the state's laws, the workplace was actively hostile towards minority groups. People you work with have been in their positions for decades, and stopped learning (or trying) after their first year. The longer you stay here, the less you will be motivated to learn anything new or do things better. Instead, you will begin to find weasely ways to blame your coworkers for your own failings, find excuses not to do work and throw it over the fence, and new ways to waste millions of taxpayer dollars on irrelevant and outdated technology because someone has a friend somewhere who's getting that sweet sweet contract.
