One huge con tho is that people tend to look down on you as "admin support" staff. You'll be surpised how many people look down on people in such roles. They don't trust your advice either, and some will refuse to even allow you to speak solely by virtue of your title. So as a former lawyer, you may need to recalibrate your ego in order to remain happy.

FYI I had joined a small chinatown firm in the belief that you get good practical experience very early on. True in a literal sense, but it was not quality learning. Most clients had very poor abilities to pay as well.
Hmm you didn’t apply for a manager position at least? So you’re doing admin?
