Pros

Free parking and being in low traffic location.

Cons

Besides the low pay, this offshore "answer" ends up being the mojo contributing to a culture that exemplifies the many absurdities that might be found in a Dilbert cartoon (i.e - on demand seating policy at this facility for instance). It's Beige Man, in not only the physical surroundings, but in the energy, the vibe, the leadership/management of people. Creative, Innovative, and status-quo challengers will find it stifling and consistent with the same ole' lumbering bureaucracy where people are just numbers to be manipulated.
