Pros

Initial Salary is attractive, free food and work-life balance (you literally work 8 hours at the Help Desk, at sales department is much more)

Cons

-The company culture is fine but the Help Desk role is extremely exhausting and sometimes really unfair once other people evaluate the quality of your answers you provide to clients (you have to speak to 3 clients at the same time in different languages). -Wrongly bad quality grades are often given to your chats and that really affects your promotion within the company. -At the interview they promote the idea of developing an international career although it won't happen that easy. -Once you go to sales there is no higher position to grow in the company, all you can do is moving through the departments selling different products, always in the same hierarchy position.

Not really cons, culture is great.

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.
