  * In Civi's database schema, the "street\_address" column is described as *Concatenation of all routable street address components (prefix, street number, street name, suffix, unit number OR P.O. Box)*. The organization name doesn't seem to belong there, really.
  * This is a relational database, so why are we storing the organization name twice (once in the org's own record and once in the employee's address?) There should be a more elegant way to handle this.
  
  Other CRMs include a special "Company" address field, distinct from the "Street Address" field, but again this would be duplicative.
