Travel accommodations for beginning attorney

Post by Anonymous User » Wed Oct 22, 2014 12:46 pm

When you are just starting out at a firm, is transportation to and from the airport usually covered when traveling? I am trying to decide whether to take public transportation or not without actually having to ask the question to the firm.
