Pros

Great training, friendly colleagues and a team mentality. The senior employees, supervising paralegals and attorneys in the Irvine office are great. Management is willing to to work with you to approve any PTO requests. There are plenty opportunities to earn OT as well.

Cons

Minimal interaction between colleagues of similar positions, but this is due in large part to the sheer volume of cases each team is responsible for.

Pros

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

Cons

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.
