Otherwise, a great place to work, ruined by anti-gun politics

Pros

Great pay, great benefits, great work/life balance, and interesting work.

Overall, a great place to work. Inclusive to almost everybody, except conservatives and gun owners.

Cons

As a woman who's been attacked before, I have a concealed carry license and always carry my gun in my purse. They won't let me do that here. It makes me feel very vulnerable.

I'm not worried about any of my coworkers. (Everyone's really great!) I'm worried about criminals coming in and hurting me. Or someone hiding in the parking lot waiting to kidnap me on the way to my car, like last time.

But they don't care about any of that. They just want to virtue signal about being a "safe" gun-free zone.

Advice to Management

My concealed gun doesn't affect you. It's not for you. It's not about you. It's about women being able to be safe from attackers in your building and in your parking lot. Your "gun-free zone" sign isn't even bullet-proof.
