What attacks are opened by a VPN that aren't open to an ISP or the local coffee shop?

I'm not referencing MITM attacks...

You can visit sites that aren't blacklisted on the company's network which makes it easier to social engineer you. You have less control over what stupid things your employees can do.

You're right, this wouldn't be any more dangerous than being on a coffee shop's wifi but you already don't care about network security if that's how you're working.
