Current Employee Current Employee Mr. San Francisco

Advice to law firm management:
Management should increase efforts to promote employee wellness and give more days off. This would go a long way for worker morale at this firm.

Pros:
These lawyers do not slack off, and neither will you. Every day you can prepare to "carpe diem" with your coworkers. Be prepared for the challenge.

Cons:
Many employees feel that the constant pressure cooker environment is too much for them to handle, so they quit.
