Pros
You will never work more than 40 hours a week and never work on the weekends. Additionally, the benefits of paid time off, sick leave, retirement, and options for healthcare plans are great, so I could see how it would be great if you had a family.
Cons
You are not respected for your opinion if it is outside the normal procedure and there is no place for individuality. Moreover, if you are an experienced attorney then your experience actually works against you because they do not want your experience. Instead they prefer you fit each decision you write in the form they use where they value the quantity completed as opposed to the quality of decisions that will be upheld on appeal. In fact, if you focus on decisions that are legally strong enough to be upheld on appeal then you are criticized and reprimanded. In addition, you are only allowed a limited amount of hours, between four and six hours, to review all evidence, attend a hearing, analyze testimony, any discovery, and draft a legally sufficient decision.
