Current Employee Current Employee Mr. San Francisco

Advice to law firm management:
There is division between the floors. Management should work on bringing everyone together. There are monthly breakfasts and occasional lunches. But there needs to be more effort at bridging the divide between the floors.

Pros:
There are some very good shareholders to work for, good benefits, good environment. Staff is well paid and is treated well by most of the shareholders.

Cons:
There is turnover with a couple of the shareholders who are not as nice to work for. It would be nice if management had more control of the staff on the Eleventh Floor.
