Pros

I enjoyed the free pizza, maybe too much. And their dough is something to be proud of, unmistakable if you've ever tried their classic breadsticks.

Cons

They suffer from an issue that seems all too prevalent in business today, but the feeling that you can never perform well enough only results in the loss of quality people. It's imperative that companies come to realize that though they should never stop searching for additional revenue or effective ways to cut costs, there IS a market share and a level of profits to be satisfied with so that it builds a culture for their employees to feel successful. Stop letting the requests for more, more, more by your shareholders result in compromising all the values that had originally made you successful.
