Advice to law firm management:
Step back and let your associates work. They've been hired to do a job and will do it well if you just let them.
Pros:
It's nice that there is always plenty of free coffee and food available for associates. There are also some other perks that I find enjoyable.
Cons:
The leadership here spends a lot of time micromanaging associates to the detriment of the firm. They can be overbearing and nitpicky at times, which is incredibly frustrating for me.
