Wonky Google Now location at work only

Using Google Now at home, it correctly displays where I am and is generally fine. I live in the suburbs of Poughkeepsie, NY, as a point of reference. I work in Danbury, CT. When I go to work my location is Vancouver, BC, Canada. At least it's in the right hemisphere?
Normally I'd shrug and not worry too much about it, however I use remind me's at work a lot. So if I say "Remind me in an hour to whatever" it processes this wonderfully. Wonderfully if I was in Vancouver......which is in a different time zone. Since I'm a few hours ahead of Vancouver this sets the reminder to ping me the next day. Sort of annoying.
More data:
At home I'm usually on wifi, at work I'm on AT&T LTE with no wifi available (not sure if this is an issue or not tbh)
Google Maps also seems to have this problem as well, however when I start maps it shows me as being somewhere in Washington (the state, not DC).

Just tried clearing the cache and data and will update when I go to work on Monday as to whether or not it works. In the mean time, does anyone have a sure fire solution to this or any ideas to try out? It's sort of maddening.

Thanks!
Scott
 
You can set the specific address of you work in the Google Now settings.

Using the apk didn't help.

The problem I'm having isn't Google knowing where I work, it's my current location.

Tried uninstalling Google Search and reinstalling, that didn't help.
