Current Employee Current Employee Mr. San Francisco

Advice to law firm management:
Change management entirely. The partners are short of unprofessional and twisted. Not there to motivate employees but instead demean and disrespect them. Shame on them. And shame on HR and management to be blinded by their superiority to speak up. Your employees do not deserve this. Especially administrative assistants who are there to help.

Pros:
Junior-level associates, location, office ambiance, secretarial, administrative and receptionist staff who are willing to offer their help whenever needed.

Cons:
STAY AWAY and save yourself from the misery that the partners at the New York office will put you through. Endless nights, no dinners, no consideration and back-handed comments. No job is worth the nightmare at this firm.

Partners to Avoid and Why:
New York (especially), Buffalo and Rochester partners were never the best. Partners had an Ora that they were not worth asking for any of help.

Favorite Things About this Firm:
Junior level associate communication and assistance from those who are not a higher up in the firm. Everyone higher up was of no assistance.
