Competitive in nature on May 19, 2024 - Current Employee Mr. in San Francisco City,

An Average Big Firm on May 19, 2024 - Current Employee Mr. in San Francisco City,

A Good Law Firm for You on May 19, 2024 - Former Employee Mr. in San Francisco City,
What would you, or others, like to see changed at employer?
Management needs to up their standards when it comes to their client base. Some clients are just too much work and if employees are feeling overwhelmed then they will eventually quit.
What were the things that you liked most about this employer?
I worked at this firm for several years and made a lot of great friendships along the way. The staff got along very well and management treated us all like family. The atmosphere was very kind and welcoming at all times.
What did you not like about this institution?
Certain clients can be a bit much at times. Management believes in being able to help every client but sometimes this is just impossible. You can't please everyone and it makes the work stressful when you can't deny a client.
