Pros

This business has shown me no Pros.

Cons

Asking for a person's e-mail is time consuming. The Company wants you to get the customers in and out as fast as you can, but, you HAVE to ask for e-mails. After doing all the necessary steps, like telling the customers about the survey, while circling and writing numbers, the customer is then aggravated. Also, if the customer says no to the e-mails, and you, the employee, do not get enough emails, you get reprimanded. I do not see the fairness in such an impossible task. If a customer wants to give their email, they will, if not, leave it be. The employees also shouldn't be using cheat sheets, for example, if a customer doesn't want to add an email, the employee should not pull out a cheat sheet and input a random email, it defeats the purpose.
