Pros
The illusion of life/work balance. The continued insinuation of a family-like culture. One very true positive element of Beacon's mission is providing people very very nice places for folks to call home.
Cons
Conference Calls and/or Meetings to discuss having a Conference Call and/or Meeting with the entire world for items that do not deal directly or even indirectly with what you do. Cannot voice an opinion or idea unless it is inline with upper management. Have to be Beaconized and be a Beaconite or you will not succeed. Many of the upper management teams can be condescending. Workload is not always realistic for anyone who is not a workaholic. Requirements of supervisors for time management is a joke. Oh wait, we must be scheduling a meeting, or having a meeting. Beacon's transparency is a bit askew.
