Pros

Good downtown office location. Not open-concept and you can get an office depending on your role. Free coffee and tea. Looks good on your resume. Good benefits. You can work from home.

Cons

If you aren't a lawyer, you're second rung. Lawyers can be really rude so you need a tough skin. Lots of overtime, even on holidays. Pay is not competitive and raises are tiny. Understaffed for workload and deadlines. Lots of turnover. You are often told how to do your job by lawyers who have no expertise in your field so you wind up with mediocre results.
