Pros

My daily function was perfect. I loved the job, the detail. and the compensation and benefit package was commensurate with my experience and effort expended.

Cons

Corporate culture was spot on. Individual location was not involved in that great practice. The actual location and staff were not interested in actualizing the ideals and practices of corporate culture. The disconnect from corporate to the location was jarring, to say the least.
