Pros

Health insurance is free to employees after one year of employment Corporate office and distribution center get free lunch on Fridays

Cons

Company grows, but cares less for employees in the long distant stores. Case in point, annual summer picnic (held in September because it's cheaper) is local to owners in Warwick, RI, but not those in Fishkill, NY or Bangor, ME. How about splurging on the hourly associates some time.
