Pros

The owners know how to make money and don't mind spending money in order to make more money. Great process to determine where to spend money.

Cons

No real time off. The more time you spend to meet dates the more dates you have to meet with a shorter time period. One person is expected to do the job of 2.5 to 3 people.
