The website says that the dress code is 'business casual'? So, no jeans or sneakers?

I think we're at the more formal end of "business casual", but I normally wear a collared shirt and slacks, with no tie or jacket.

Too bad!

Thanks for the reply though.

don't dismiss it out of hand - I worked for about 20 months at a big financial corp and got a good laugh most days checking myself out in the corporate uniform . . .

it's not so bad, but it is funny if you come from a place where flip-flops and the shirt you painted the house in last weekend is normal M-F attire. It definitely took me awhile to get used to sitting in my cube in nice shoes.

I wear nice shoes to work sometimes, and sometimes I don't feel like it. Rules tend to make me bristle, especially meaningless ones like dress style. Horses for courses and all that.
