What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
Management should help junior attorneys to feel more comfortable with new assignments. Also, I recommend delegating some of the work to each person so that the environment does not become even more competitive than it already is.

What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
I have learned much from working at this law firm. My co-workers are also highly intelligent with great people skills.

What did you not like about this institution?
The law firm can be competitive at times when associates try to obtain the best contracts and cases. If you are not a competitive person, this may not be the right type of job for you.

What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
This firm need's a complete re haul. I really believe that new secretary's should be put in place and new attorney's put in place as well.

What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
I suppose the work is interesting. But the work is also very complicated and requires a lot of knowledge to work on of which I was unable to gain at this firm.

What did you not like about this institution?
The staff here are very tough to work with. My secretary seemed like she did not care much about me or my work. I also felt as though all of the other attorney's only cared about themselves and were very selfish.
