Pros

The money and taxes write offs were the major pros. After those being able to make your own hours schdule your own party's and pick your inventory to accommodate my customers.

Cons

The cons were that you have to put profits back into your business for a couple months witch makes for a long time struggling. Never nowing how much I was gonna make each week made it hard to budget our fiancee.

Pros

The people who are left are lovely

Cons

You are expected to perform outside your job description. Promotions are nearly impossible. Layoffs are now part of the culture. The "pink bubble" only applies to you when they need you. Once they declare you disposable, their attitude towards you drastically changes. When you get laid off, their package is pittance.
