Pros

Free health care, that is all

Cons

Cannot afford good talent, and they refuse to get rid of the weak employees. Can't make decisions without the CEO, who everyone is afraid of, including the other owners.

Pros

it is a decent overall gap job, you will be doing every role in the store and if it is dead you will be expected to multitask up front.

Cons

some of the management could be harsh on employees
