  • "I like that we have a shorter work week at 37.5 hours and get anything in excess paid out or banked as time off."
  • "There's no politics here.  Everyone is open and honest, no pretenses, and no games."
  • "The Managing Partner sits just down the hall, and I see him all the time.  His door's always open and I can just walk in and talk about a situation or ask a question."
  • "I came from a large firm where it was all about your boss making partner. Here, there are no ego’s - we all work as a team to help each other."
  • "We do all sorts of team and community things, like charity golf outings and helping our not for profit clients with their events and initiatives."
