Current Employee Mr. San Francisco

What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
This opportunity represents a mixed bag, as you will find it hard to stay on task if you can't get enough rest. But there is also a lot to like about this opportunity.

What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
You can make a lot of strong professional contacts here. There is also more than enough to learn about the law once you start working. You will make a pretty good salary, too.

What did you not like about this institution?
Keep an eye out for burn out at this firm. Attorneys who can't manage sixty-plus hour weeks will not do well here. You have to have a completely clear schedule that is free of other commitments.
