Last year I worked on a fabulous project. We were treated very well by the people at the firm; big firm, small project. At first there were only two of us, so we were assigned their designated Litigation Support spaces; small cubes with a printer between us. We had phones! And a map of the firm! Complete with contact information! HR gave it to us before our tour! And they wanted us to feel comfortable there! Imagine, a firm that cares about its reviewers. Who knew that was possible?
This is one of the best projects I have ever worked on. We were given entry cards and told the firm was open from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm; that was our window of opportunity, though at least one person worked earlier and nobody said anything. Once we were trained, they left us alone to do the work. My companion and I would e-mail each other periodically, sitting back-to-back and because we assigned the work to ourselves, we could see each others productivity and got a bit competitive some day. That was great!
An associate at the firm would periodically send us to Au Bon Pain for half-price cookies after 3:00; we brought cookies for everyone in the area. He had nothing to do with our project but his office was near us so we got to know him a bit. Because we were in a very nice atmosphere, it didn't come across as condescending; plus we each got a cookie out of it. He wanted a cookie but didn't want to take the time to get it. We had no problem going on a cookie run.
