Pros

There are lots of benefits. The location is really a good spot. It's right next to a golf course. It's a nice work environment. There are rewarding challenges.

Cons

I can't come up with any negatives to report except that the location is a little bit isolated from food establishments. It's not bad but you do have to drive to get near nice eating places.
