Vantaggi
If your face fits what they want then you are fine if not you are wasting your time. I would advice working for a proper law firm.
Svantaggi
Oppressive culture, you feel like you are in an abusive relationship. Bullying and harassment is acceptable at the company, attitude that you can do what you want as long as you are in with management. Opportunities not there for everyone. Extremely high staff turnover, the people who are completing training contracts are only holding their breath until they qualify so they can leave, the training contract you don't even complete proper seats, trainees are not paid for study leave and are moved around based on business need and not for their development. Too much work for the staff they have, unrealistic expectations. Extremely low salary. Unless you fit the mould of what they are looking for there is no recognition. The experience looks horrible on your cv as they have a very bad reputation. If you are a recent graduate I would stay clear. They are rouge, take advantage of their clients for money and Sue their clients, they are a poor excuse for a law firm. If there is any justice they will be investigated by the law society for their practices.
