Pros

Bates has a terrific wellness program that provides free head/neck massages to employees a few times a year, and also provides easy access to CSAs in both the summer and the winter (with rebates for early subscribers).

Cons

Finding parking can be a challenge, and with no parking garage(s), you're guaranteed to do a lot of snow removal off your car in the winter.
