Pros

An AMEX with unlimited spend on business trips - which they will make you do a lot of unless you are on the helpdesk or get one of the coveted London based roles which are like gold dust

Cons

No career development No learning - unless you consider fixing BBG chat a skill set Micro Management on steroids - the time you walk in and leave the office will be on your internal profile for the world to see and they will make sure you’re aware you were 1 min late to work when you swiped in at 8:01 Ridiculous Travel expectations (3 days every week) to clients who really don’t want to see you because you already fixed their BBG chat last week If you refuse the travel then you are moved to a sub par role in a non exciting area of their business, typically the help desk, but fear not - Many of the help questions are about turning on/off sound alerts on BBG chat so you will be well equipped to help customers

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.
