Pros

Many different vendor companies merge together. Very good support staff for the Chefs.

Cons

Kind of a toss up when it comes to staffing houses. Some house moms and dads are very understanding and want quality food. Some of the House Moms and Dads can be very difficult to work with.

Pros

Adam and Bob are great leaders and we are growing very quickly. I love that they understand that not every area can be ran exactly the same and give us the opportunity to run like a business owner. With our growth, we have acquired both great clients and staff. This has made our areas denser and provided the opportunity to have boots on the ground mgmt at each campus and a better overall work life balance.

Cons

as long as you stay on your toes and move quickly to develop new relationships, welcome new friends and keep an open mind to new ideas it can be quite exciting
