Pros

Predictable hours and schedule. You are able to call off ahead of time and ask for swaps with coworkers similar to the restaurant industry. Positive team environment (with some exceptions). Essentially a call center, where workers from Operations call in for technical support regarding network, registers, printers, etc.

Cons

No benefits until you are brought on as a permanent hire. This can take up to 1 year. You are required to work 1 day of the weekend as part of your 40 hours per week. Culture is a big thing, but too big for some individuals. Many people say it is "cult-like," but aren't all companies? Example: Tuesday to Saturday or Sunday to Thursday

So incompetent at the Management Level

Pros

Good values (too bad the execution/application is terrible!)

Cons

If you have a connection to the founders (either a relation or someone who is perceived to be in their good graces), you can literally get away with murder. People will tip toe around you so as to not get a bad word in with Andrew and Peggy (ohh if I could share some stories!). This creates an environment of fear where people are rewarded for how well they present themselves in front of the founders, and not based on how they treat people or the quality of their work. It's especially disgusting to see this at the highest levels of leadership, such a shame.
