Advice to law firm management:
Update your technology, and have more staff meetings to keep this staff together and on the same page.
Pros:
The starting salary and benefits are really good. In my time here, I've been able to have really good balance between work and my social life.
Cons:
This is a very old fashioned company; the software is prehistoric. They need to update their technology. I've seen a lot of turnover here, mostly in part to one particular individual. Nearly twenty attorneys left the firm in less than a year and a half.

Advice to law firm management:
As I already mentioned, I would like to see management hire a few attorneys that are experienced in not getting too emotionally involved with cases. We could get more work done if we were not so emotionally attached to our results.
Pros:
What I like most about my home away from home is how well my fellow attorneys tend to bond with their clients. I feel as though everyone really cares about the cases they are working on.
Cons:
Sometimes we can care a little bit too much. I really feel as though we need management to hire a few people that are experienced in terms of not getting too emotionally involved with the results of each case.
