Vantaggi

Looks good on your resume. Introduction to corporate immigration law. Good health insurance! But that's about it.

Svantaggi

Terrible retention rate of employees due to the following: poor management styles ranging from inefficient disorganization to disruptive micromanagement, insufficient training on your day-to-day functions, a toxic work environment (dog eat dog for no reason), and no support from management to change any of those things. Penny-pinching management expects you to work overtime to cover the insane amount of work you're expected to do with insufficient training and toxic work environment, but gets mad when you take overtime to accomplish the needful. PTO/Overtime policies lack flexibility, freedom, and general understanding of the nature of the work we do. It's boring work plus a frigid/frugal management and toxic workplace culture plus being treated like an expendable cog in a machine.

Vantaggi

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

Svantaggi

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.
