Pros

You get paid on time. Seriously, that's all I can think of. There is really not much else to say but there's a 20 word minimum for this field...

Cons

Glass ceilings - everywhere. No career progression for non-solicitors. HR work for the company, not the individual. It is a sad place of demoralised support staff.

Pros

- Excellent pay and benefits - Flexibility with the hybrid schedule (depending on your practice group) - Easy to build community with other assistants and paralegals

Cons

- Easy to fall into burnout due to understaffing in assistant/paralegal positions - Be prepared for an unexpectedly higher or lower workload at any point. - D.C. location is particularly strict about the hybrid expectations - A bit disorganized as a whole when it comes to onboarding and training for your particular practice group.
