Pros
I've worked for law firms since 1987. I have to say that Wilson Elser (WE) has hands-down been my favorite employer. Here's why: 1. Managing Partner in SF: He's not only an excellent attorney but he's also an excellent manager. He is patient, reasonable, kind, and very supportive. He's also very personable and treats the entire staff as equals. He voluntarily sits in on my administrative meetings and engages with the staff. His positive attitude and demeanor is refreshing. He's very well liked by the attorney and admin staff. Our office is successful because of his influence and direction. 2. Attorneys & Professionals: The attorneys are very respectful and kind to each other and to the admin staff. Several staff members have reported extreme satisfaction working at Wilson Elser. They enjoy working with attorneys who support and respect them. The finance/HR departments are reliable, informative and accommodating. Their loyalty to the firm is impressive. I will retire from WE.
Cons
I would have liked to work for WE much earlier in my career. It would have saved me years of dissatisfaction and disappointment.
