Pros

If I could find one - proximity would be only one.

Cons

New mgmt changed this company to be a toxic environment. Colleagues throwing others under the bus to save their own skin. Constant upper mgmt playing the blame game to their subordinates, always belittling each other. Starts at the top and just trickles down, like an avalanche engulfing everyone. Best thing was to leave, never looked back, probably got 3-4 life years back after leaving. Really feel bad for those still in the trenches, some day they will see there are other decent companies out there, much, much better.

Pros

You can wear jeans to work.

Cons

50 people in the accounting department sat in a large room with no privacy and no divider walls between desks and worked. Items were constantly missing from my desk. I was paid $50,000 a year for a staff accountant job and I had to work many many free hours of overtime!
