Pros

I enjoyed the young people I worked with, made a lot of friends, and gained administrative experience.

Cons

The head partner is arrogant and difficult to work with. Their salaries are well below what their peers pay, so turnover is pretty high. Many friends (myself included) tried to negotiate for higher pay or title changes at our yearly reviews, and were basically strung along and told we would be reconsidered in 3 months, but we never were, despite following up. Huge bureaucratic machine, being the largest immigration firm in the world.

Pros

Can learn a lot from heavy case volume and working with large companies, MNCs, etc.

Cons

Lack of support and training. A sink or swim environment. Expectation is carry on high work load volume.

Soul-Sucking Corporate America at its Worst

Pros

The coworkers were really the only positive thing about this place. Equally unappreciated and overworked, often all the APs and Ps would band together, still working hours after all the more senior management / attorneys had long gone home. During CAP season, expect the office to be full of candy and COSTCO catered lunches!

Cons

Quantity over quality. Constant technological failure that is beyond absurd (Lotus Notes, seriously?! It would crash constantly making it impossible to meet deadlines even if you weren't already swamped). Little to no training (other than power point slides), or worse, conflicting training which, when things go awry, always fall to the blame of the APs rather than management. Little value to life outside the office. Expect to stay late, work weekends (during CAP especially), and have little to no work/life balance. The only saving grace will be your coworkers, and hopefully at least one attorney on your team.
