Pros

Lots of great people, open environment, "fast fun and friendly", commitment to doing what is right for the guest and for the team member.

Cons

Thin-skinned people. More focused on not offending people than getting a message across. Focus on work/life balance does not extend to management ranks -- only individual contributors. HR has too much power. (can't hire/fire someone unless they approve). Workplace is way too stuffy. TOO MANY MEETINGS
