Horrible communication between management and employees. My particular team was not treated well - we were considered to be outsiders.
Advice to Management
Strive to treat your employees like part of the overall team. Keep them in the loop and respond to requests for information, whether about a case or rules and regulations. Take seriously the problems presented.

Pros
Smart attorneys, good at what they do.
Cons
Lost a lot of their rainmakers in the last 5 years. The german group runs the show now; and those from other practice groups with business potential left because they felt they were on the outside looking in. Compensation rules always changing.
Advice to Management
The personalities are what they are and wont change.

Pros
Most of the staff and some attorneys are great to work with.
Cons
The best people have left or are leaving. Outsourcing work to another state and/or cheap contractors is the worst kind of business decision - it's devastating to the community where you do business. It used to be a good place to work.
Advice to Management
None.
