Pros
Well...if I had to say anything I guess it would be the fact that some guys with checkered backgrounds are given an opportunity.
Cons
The biggest con is that there is a good Ole boy system in place. You can be under qualified, & have a shady past but if you're liked by the owner you can do no wrong. Recently I was terminated from my position due to my criminal record coming out. I have been a faithful employee who does his job and doesn't complain for over three years and was cut loose like it was nothing. I admit, I have a horrible past that involves a sex crime. However there is a manager in California, with the exact type of criminal charges that was not terminated. How is that fair? The only reason it became an issue is because a customer called from a church I was doing a job at and complained after running a check on my drivers license. Still no benefit of the doubt, just cut me dry on the spot. Yet this other guy still has a job, and is a manager. Just doesn't seem right.
