Pros

People smile at you and there is free coffee in the break room. Kitchen in the break room if you want to cook real food. Widespread familiarity of video games and pop culture. Dogs are allowed to visit sometimes. Good health insurance benefits.

Cons

Extremely limited legal knowledge and etiquette. PTO is slow to accrue. Concerns and suggestions are taken as personal attacks. Noisy building with little unoccupied space for phone calls, etc. Bad phone and internet service in much of the building. Sadistic and pugnacious individuals have free rein to do as they wish. Limited parking space. Insistence on misunderstanding and refusal/inability to understand people with different life experiences. Bias in enforcement of rules. Overgrown small company with a cliquish, small-town attitude.
