Pros

Central location is convenient, near a train station for those who commute.

Kontras

It is difficult to find a competent manager who knows how to delegate/monitor work . There's a mix of micromanagement or complete lack of organization, so work flow makes little to no sense. The rules about timesheets are frustrating-- it seems they keep tightening the rules and making life increasingly difficult for lower-level employees by making it impossible to have any control over how your days/weeks/year is scheduled. You can go into overtime during the week and be forced to take PTO if you left a little early one day. HR does not have your back, and they, along with your managers, will throw you under the bus the second they come under heat for their own problems. There is a big emphasis on having "better filing numbers," yet it is difficult to parse what that actually means, and somehow it is the fault of paralegals for not doing enough. They want to squeeze as much productivity out of you as humanly possible. You are there to churn out visas, and you are treated like a replaceable, insignificant cog instead of the human being that you are.

Pros

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

Kontras

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.
