Business Outlook

Pros

Build retail, restaurant, franchise industry foundational knowledge

Cons

Unqualified management and leadership driven by heightened egos, nepotistic and cancerous thinking, short sighted goals and lack of true strategy. Revolving door across the corporate roles with most admin, entry level, mid-managers leave within 24 months. No clear direction to fix culture. Bleeding cash and not capable of understanding how to manage lack of controls.
