Pluspunten

Something to put on your resume if you’re lacking experience.

Minpunten

The worst law firm to work for. Management expects you to break your back for your job. Long hours and NOT NEARLY enough pay. Annual “raises” are more of salary adjustments. They get away with labeling you as assistants while you’re actually doing paralegal work so you get paid less. There is no support from management and the lack of adequate training builds you for failure. Overworked? Not management’s problem. It’s your problem for not getting your work done faster. Can’t meet deadlines? Not management’s problem. You should be working 9+ hours everyday to meet your deadlines. Management doesn’t care about you, only the money they get from clients. You’re their sweat shop workers, NOT employees.

Pluspunten

Decent overtime pay. I also had a decent training/onboarding experience, but this was not the norm.

Minpunten

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.
