Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General

Fantastic place to work. Comfortable office, incredible colleagues, plenty of opportunities for advancement. Hard work is necessary but 100% rewarded. 

Work/Life Balance is easily attainable - management is very flexible, hours are very manageable, and the hybrid schedule allows for so much flexibility, way more than most employers. 

Constituent Services is entry-level and the work can be difficult, but we have frequent opportunities for internal advancement, COLA increases and merit raises quite frequently, and very manageable and satisfying work. 

If you have no interest in Constituent Services or communicating with the public, it might not be wise to apply. You will be talking to the public, drafting letters, and handling occasional difficult conversations (no more than a typical elected official staff). If you work hard, your effort will absolutely be rewarded, both in this section and with opportunities with further advancement at OAG. 

Past CS employees have advanced to a variety of roles - criminal agents at OAG, Government Affairs assistants, Executive Assistants, folks leave to pursue graduate degrees, and similar roles in other state agencies. But the vast majority of CS Specialists stay 1-3 years in CS and advance to new positions at OAG. 

Highly, highly recommend working here! 

Working here is a little like running on a hamster wheel. Everyone does their own thing, without much oversight and sometimes problems that could be solved, don't and we continue running in circles. There's a "it's always been this way" kind of attitude that no one wants to disrupt. Otherwise the people are friendly, the atmosphere is not stressful at all and the work life balance is amazing. The pay could be better but the trade off is the 3.5% we pay for benefits vs the thousands others pay at non-State jobs. 

Working at the attorney general’s office is like running a mob. Everyone is out for them selfs if you aren’t part of the crowd that’s been at the agency for years you don’t even exist. Management knows there are issues within their sections but refuse to do anything to change it.  Workers hide behind their union reps and get away with a lot of stuff. 

If you even remotely have an interest in growing your career go somewhere else. The pay is not that great and you will save your self a headache. 


Very cliquey and you will be single out if you call out their errors. No promotions or growth of any kind. Very backward negative to change. 




Though all of the work performed at the Office of Attorney General benefit the citizens of Pennsylvania. Depending on your job title and work description, due to the nature of the work, working in the Criminal Law section can be extremely stressful. However, working in the Civil Law departments, could be a mostly normal and pleasant experience.

I grew so much through my internship here, and would recommend it to anyone thinking about working in law or law enforcement. I was able to experience all phases of the criminal justice process, and aid in investigation arrest, and prosecution or drug offenders.

There was always a lot to get done in a day at the office (OAG). A lot of computer programs were used to help assist agents throughout their day. The employees were extremely helpful during the time of my internship with them.

Great place to work as a legal intern.  Various opportunities for hands-on experience in personal injury law.  Typical duties include legal research, attending depositions, attending court proceedings, and drafting memo's and briefs.

A lot of life long skills learned from working at this place. I am forever thankful for taking up the opportunity. A typical day at work is about doing a lot of office works and following up with clients on the daily basis.

No promotional standards. Only "yes" people and damaged employees get promoted for control purposes. Power structure based on patronage and favoritism rather than merit based.

Executive staff are awful.  If your not one of their cronies from Philadelphia your a nobody.  Poor staff development.   Lots of backstabbing.  Can’t trust anyone.
