Pros

Customers Tips Continuous Education There are really not a lot of Pros for this company. Each location is franchise owned and the corporation takes no responsibility in making sure employees are treated respectfully and fairly. Corporate also encourages work over family ALWAYS

Cons

Abusive Management Hostile Work Environment No Work Life Balance Corporate doesn’t care about employees since they are franchise owned. Corporate encourages company first family last.
