Pros

Locations are easily accessible and most people working there are friendly. Customers are obsessed with the owner so most are always busy. Food is very good.

Cons

Dysfunctional and unorganized leadership, Bleeding money, inconsistent expectations and employment standards. Leaders in roles they are not qualified for that perpetuate this terrible environment where laws are being broken and discrimination permeates the company with a blind eye being turned by everyone preaching the philosophy but not actually applying it to day to day operations.
