      Pros

      There are some talented attorneys that work here so you can gain litigation experience. You will learn to manage cases and see a variety of different types of cases. Because of its size, you will litigate against very professional and talented plaintiffs attorneys that you can also learn from.

      Cons

      Low pay and not a lot of opportunities to develop your own business or advance upward.
