Pros

The owner Maggie does several generous things for all of her employees.

Cons

It depends on the location people work at and who the Manager is for that location, but some cons are how, when and which employees' hours are reduced along with their overtime revoked. The favoritism and hypocrisy that takes place among the employees is ridiculous and disheartening.
