Pros

Experience with working with people on a day to day basis and changing their lives. The relationships built are long standing.

Cons

Since the company was franchised, they created a new set of rules and criteria for staff. You were never allowed to take time off, the hours were awful, and treated staff like they were just a number. Ultimately ending in laying off staff with 9 days notice.
