Pros

Great pay, very plush office environment, offices are always in great locations, nice perks like an all you can eat snack bar, chauffered car to drop you to and from work if you're scheduled at certain hours, attracts very intelligent people.

Cons

Very grueling environment, hires horrible trainers that don't train new employees properly, sink or swim mentality, prides itself on an 'open door' office environment but is actually the polar opposite, delivers candidates lots of fake promises in the interview process such as international opportunities, quick advancement, etc. senior management is trained to brainwash employees to operate on the fear of losing their jobs, management is free to practice verbal and emotional abuse on employees as a way to garner results, constant stress makes everyone extremely bad tempered so there is little positive interaction with colleagues, absolutely no room for creativity or ideas.

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.
