Plays Music In-Office 24/7

Business Outlook

Pros

You get the magic of feeling like you work in a Kohl's

Cons

There is music. 24/7. They never. Turn. It. Off. People talk even louder to talk over it so have fun trying to do your work. Good thing you don't need to focus or concentrate to do software development.
