Pros

Great work-life balance Great coworkers Lots of luncheons Sustainable mission

Cons

Grew too big too fast, a lot of newer locations are not getting the training they deserve. Management is hired based on one interview, this in turn leads to underqualified management which breeds unorganized, frustrating, and messy workspaces and policies.
