Pros
They do a good job at staying positive and creating an environment that promotes professional and personal growth.
Cons
It exploits the community and raising funds by treating all interactions as less than supporting a cause and more like selling and hassling willing patrons for more just because its how we make quota and literally get paid. The conference that is promoted as a great networking opportunity is so exclusive that there is no external information available in form of research and I found that this exact business model is spread across the country verbatim down to the same structures. They dangle being a CEO in your face however its not really a CEO its more of a director of a new franchised location with the big man at the top earning all the profit.
