Pros

Colleagues, without any doubt. From assistant to managing director, all have been to university and have interesting lives. There is genuine interest to do and deliver the best work possible, despite the really unclear and seemingly feeble instructions from senior management.

Cons

The number of times I sat in a meeting where we were all asking "but what does Ron actually mean with that, can somebody check?" are uncountable. And the answer to that question is always "I think he means this...., I've asked him and his strategy director and they both say the same". Raised eyebrows, and responses like "really? Don't they know that our customers actually have asked us for something completely different?" are not uncommon either..
