Has anyone completed an apprenticeship with Acadium?

It’s flabbergasting how these “mentors” behave. They’re rude, condescending, and act like they’re hiring a full time employee instead of guiding their apprentices. I started one last month and was just notified my contract will be terminated for garbage reasons (tl;dr: she didn’t communicate properly and expected professional work, specifically in graphic design, even thoughI told her during our interview I’m a newbie).

I’m not too angry, since I’ve read enough stories about corporate life that show they don’t really care about their employees, and I have another job, but I needed this apprenticeship to branch into different areas of digital marketing. I don’t know whether it’s a good idea to stay with them after hearing other stories like mine from past apprentices

Received a job offer. Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on a concern I had about it. It's an entry level position, and I don't have much experience. The billables are 2040 a year. For billable hours in civil litigation and insurance defense, is 2040 hours for a 1st year associate on the high end in this field for a small or midsize firm? It seems like most attorneys I know have minimum requirements of around 1800. The compensation is around 80k a year.
