Pros

High volume caseload means you get very familiar with the immigration types you are working with. Lots of opportunities with other firms when you burn out.

Cons

Flouting of employment laws, long hours expected, no carrot / all stick, no work/life balance, no flex hours or consideration given to employees with chronic illness/ill children. Misogynistic management with a history of inappropriate behaviour towards staff. High turnover.

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.
