Pros

Hard to think of any pros but I guess it's that inexperienced people get the chance to run projects and businesses. And there's curiosity and energy to explore new tactics and industries. But the repercussions of both are severe and painful for everyone.

Cons

Like working with children who have never been told no. Weird cult of personality around the owners. There's a small group of lifers and everyone else is disposable and treated that way. Ugly and toxic environment with a revolving door of employees.
