Pros

Used to have free lunch . Not anymore. Cannot think of anything else.

Cons

If you are going there. Just keep this in mind. You can be Albert Einstein and be smartest in the world but you don't get promoted easily. Here Everything works based on relationships. Very long extra hours of work without pay!!! Zero work, life balance. Erratic rules: be buddy to your manager you can come 10 AM and leave 5PM not peoblem. Otherwise arrive 8:05 AM and you can be in trouble.

Pros

Only a five-hour-per-week time commitment, which is very manageable with my class schedule. Bloomberg provides ideas for challenges and activities to host at my school, so I would not have to come up with everything from scratch. There is flexibility to choose when I table and to tailor the role around my schedule.

Cons

The budget for the program is tight, which is frustrating because advertising to law students is exactly how Bloomberg Law builds a dedicated user base. In my opinion, whoever makes the budget is not seeing the bigger vision. A lot of attorneys may not like Bloomberg Law, use it regularly, or ask their firms to purchase a subscription simply because they were never meaningfully exposed to it in law school. This is exactly why Lexis has taken over in such a big way: its presence and budget are felt at law schools across the country. If Bloomberg wants future attorneys to become loyal users, it needs to invest more seriously in reaching students while they are still learning which legal research platforms they prefer.
