Pluspunten

Stable, pretty damn easy if you can write at all, decent benefits, and most of the time the hours are just 8:30-5.

Minpunten

It's incredibly dry, boring, repetitive, mindless work. Your entire job is just to apply various cumbersome and detailed policies to the cases you are working on. Fill out forms, fill in blanks in form letters, and describe jobs the way the USCIS wants to hear you describe them. It sort of feels like the movie "office space."Also, they try to hire in temps who are naive enough not to negotiate. Make sure you negotiate at every opportunity. If they want to hire you after you temped, then you're valuable to them, so don't be afraid to push through a few rounds of awkward negotiation to get more money.

Pluspunten

Decent overtime pay. I also had a decent training/onboarding experience, but this was not the norm.

Minpunten

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.
