Pros

The title may be a bit misleading. Here's the meaning. A short time after I started working there I said to myself I could retire here. The atmosphere was kind and good. The pay could be better. But the benefits were very good. The location was perfect. I enjoyed nearly every day I went to work. And when I left I was as deeply troubled as a person leaving his loving family. Frankly I didn't want to go.

Cons

There is a Us and Them mentality between NYC and Atlanta. It's unfortunate. At a Sr level, Atlanta restricted growth and became petty when I raised the bar and/or over performed. My actions lead to a Peabody Award. Their actions where disheartening. And I truly wish the us and them was never an issue.
