Pros

Random City benefits like free bike rentals. Getting to randomly meet city politicians.

Cons

Bureaucracy, organizational messiness. Co-workers gossiped blatantly about people and some were genuinely horrible at their job and had been their years. I went through the ADA Accomodations process over Zoom where where they all had their cameras off while reviewing my requests. I had to work an hour and half later just for two 15 minute breaks a day. My manager lied in the name clearing process.
