“Decent benefits and...” on May 19, 2024 - Former Employee Mr. in San Francisco City,
What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
Get it together and have a heart. Quit expecting people to worship the ground associate attorneys walk on. Also the free bagels on Thursdays are nice but come on.
What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
Your coworkers who are working in the trenches with you are genuinely good people and look out for each other.
What did you not like about this institution?
Associate attorneys lack managerial training and are only focused on the number of cases done per day regardless of how many cases (160+) you are working on and how burnt out you are becoming.
Training is mediocre at best, obviously it makes it appear a great place to work.
A word of guidance to anyone considering this position: if they’re hiring in December you will get thrown in at their most busy time of year and likely be let go after it.

Balanced workload. Casual. Good training. The senior associate I work for is head and shoulders the most competent immigration attorney I have worked with and will ever work with as he is several levels above my previous attorneys. Salary way above its competitors.ConsIf you're not a fan of woke companies, may want to look elsewhere.
