Pros

I am mostly left alone during the work day to get work done and listen to music while I work.

Cons

Only took this job because sales at my last job tanked when inflation hit. Grey, lifeless corporate position where you exist only to help two megacorporations communicate more efficiently. Unclean, old facilities, trainers are incompetent, and they constantly dangle the prospect of WFH while never delivering on it.
