Pros

Location is easily accessible via public transportation.

Cons

A group of executive assistants constantly falsely accused an African American woman of stealing, and they also conspired to have her terminated. One of the c-suite she supported co-signed their actions. Later, the ringleader was forced to retire or be terminated.

Pros

Great people who believe in a common mission. Strong leadership and support.

Cons

Budgets and decision making for technical programs are centralized at a high level with little to no consideration for how it affects individual programs and their unique needs. Heavy bureaucracy involved in setting up simple things.
