Pros

Um... hmm....Oh, I know!....when the weather is ok it's nice to walk around outside!....oh, and the museum can have interesting exhibits. Ahem.

Cons

What's the maximum word count allowed here? I'll just summarize... What they call "Leadership." I would have rather have worked for King Joffrey. In my twenty years of experience I've had several difficult bosses, but this was, by far, the unhappiest, most miserable, lowest, uninspiring, dead, micro-managing, controlling group of people I have ever worked for. I have spent way too much time thinking about the things I wish I had said to my boss. The buildings are Dickensian, as is the work culture, and I was the whipping boy. I was chased in to a corner and reduced to groveling. My sadistic "boss" took pleasure in it, and when I reached out for help my hand was slapped. I had no support or help. After several years of abuse I reached out for help one final time and was suddenly terminated. The message?: Don't ask for help, don't complain, don't breathe. Don't ever ask for more porridge. Ever.
