Current Employee Current Employee Mr. San Francisco

Advice to law firm management:
The work here was okay, and they can't do anything about location, but they should offer workers more benefits including parking vouchers or something similar.

Pros:
The people working here are really friendly and everyone will try to help you out if they can. I was never bored, although some of the work here could get challenging.

Cons:
I really hate the location in the city. We had no parking lot and the fee to park on the street added up after a while
