Pros

Office is located in a beautiful setting. Some projects can be interesting (but everyone scrambles to get them and it turns into a brawl.

Cons

Leadership has more interest in billings than in creating quality work. Head of graphics department admitted to not knowing what Photoshop is (like no clue at all) after coming on board at the job- pretty much sums up the problem of having the wrong people in the wrong leadership positions. Real old-boy mentality. "Now get back to work" is literally the CEO's catchphrase. Management was often threatening to export people's jobs to China.
