      Pros

      A company with heart. Teddy bears and kids are fun. Great product to sell. It's hard work but a lot of fun. Ok to wear jeans and bring dogs to work (at BQ). Good and hard-working team of people in stores and at BQ. Some cool and interesting perks. Lots to do.

      Cons

      Lots to do. Uniforms are questionable. Salaries can be low. Benefits good but not great.
