Do not work in the DC office unless you're comfortable lying through your teeth as you smile.

Pros

Great benefits. Flexible work hours (so you can get micromanaged from the comfort of your home as you work your "second 40"). Pays for your licensure, industry memberships, and accreditations. Looks great on a resume. You're experience will likely be better than mine if you are an architect or work in healthcare.

Cons

If you work for the Corporate Interiors team, however, your experience may be as bad as mine. Office politics. Everyone hates working there but everyone says they love it - hence, you must be comfortable lying through your teeth with a smile... constantly. Extremely competitive. If you aren't currently identified as a leader and you'd like to be (or at least you'd like to receive a decent level of respect), the second you start to try and succeed or go above and beyond for the office in order to gain positive attention, you will realize it's pointless. Essentially, if you can put yourself in the shoes of Disney's classic Cinderella as she presents the outfit she and her furry / feathery friends spent hours creating, you will experience her horror as your evil stepsisters (coworkers) rip it to shreds screaming "that's mine!" No one wants you to succeed here. If anyone does, it is purely because it would deeply benefit them.
