Pros

Running water and internet connection.

Cons

OSD has the worst leadership from top to bottom. A lot of favoritism and nepotism. Some people get to work remotely forever and some others have to mail packages for people that get to work remotely forever. Going to the right schools and working for the right former companies are the only way to help you get ahead.
