Advice to law firm management: Spend more time listening to people - there are insights you can get from people that they'll only give you if they really feel understood. Strive for more fairness and transparency in decision making.
Pros: The firm uses technology quite well, which you might not expect - everything is up to date, and some jobs can be remotely performed, at least some of the time. Benefits are definitely above average.
Cons: Has a lot of the problems inherent to a larger and more established firm. Management sometimes seems unwilling to listen to or to deal with concerns. Not a lot of room for growth, in some functions, and when there are opportunities, you feel like they are distributed to those who are ""insiders"".

Advice to law firm management: Continue to reward and promote hardworking employees. Stop playing favorites.
Pros: Benefits are great. Attorneys are awesome and the staff is dedicated. You are free to work independently.
Cons: You aren't able to work at home and the hours are not very flexible. It can take a while to get a promotion. There can be tight deadlines and late work nights.

Advice to law firm management: Treat everyone the same; every piece matters.
Pros: I was surrounded by very smart and hardworking attorneys at this firm. Even with a great deal of work put on our desks; the incredible staff here gets it done in a timely fashion. This leaves plenty of room for a life outside of the office.
Cons: I've found there isn't much room for improvement or growth here. In fact, it seems when a position becomes open; it very rarely even gets filled. Upper management plays favorites

Advice to law firm management: My advice is stay away from office politics and focus on your work. You will get success if you will show consistency and punctuality. The chances of growth are ample but you have to prove that you are worth it.
Pros: I would say that I have mixed feeling towards this firm. People are nice and helpful at this place but your work-life balance takes a toll as workload is somewhat on the higher side. But I must say that the co-workers and managers are very cooperative and work hard with you. The IT department is very good and make life easy. Nice training programs and very friendly environment.
Cons: Due to lack of electronic document management system everything is a bit unorganized. The hardest part of the job would be to come up with a solution to a problem quickly.
