Pros

Beautiful surroundings. The guests, for the most part, are lovely and great to know. Complimentary food and beverage during a shift. Complimentary parking. Some really great employees who are hardworking, authentic and not caught up in the drama.

Cons

Very poor culture. Departments work in silos with zero collaboration. Crossover teamwork, leadership, opinions or ideas are taken as a threat instead of welcomed and entertained. Some of the most unprofessional and rude employees reside in human resources - of all places. There are double standards galore and age discrimination taking place. The problems are not with the individual contributors (the worker-bees who do everything) but with supervisors and management. Such a shame.
