Pros

As other reviewers have mentioned this is a family company. With that seems to come a great sense of fidelity. Turnover rates are fairly low, and every manager was promoted from within. Frequently someone will be hired for a certain job but then be allowed to follow their passion into another department. I work a 40 hour work week except in rare cases. Holidays are pretty standard and becoming more generous, as is PTO. In the past two years I've been here, my salary has increased by 40%: Not many companies will salary chase employees in this way. 401k matching available. Health insurance is a cafeteria plan (you pick the plan) subsidized based on age and family size, in my case it worked out to about 50% subsidy.

Cons

Being a fairly small company (running on the profits of selling used clothing) BaseCamp Franchising can't really compete with the benefits offered by companies like Vivint and Adobe. Even if you pay for the most expensive health insurance option and leave the hospital a day early, a standard birth still costs a few thousand dollars. I see this more as the crummy insurance market than as any fault of BaseCamp. Founding family has a resale/retail background so occasionally they interact with employees in ways that seem unusual if you are used to a corporate environment.

Pros

Coworkers were great. Overall team was fun.

Cons

Leadership disorganized. Hypocritical work environment - say they'll improve, but never do. No room for growth.

Thanks for the review! I'm not sure what you mean about no room for growth though. Almost every director of our company was hired from within after moving up in their respective departments. I would appreciate more detail on why you felt that way.. Feel free to email me at scott@bcfranchise.com. Best, Scott Sloan (CEO)

Pros

Basecamp was a great place to explore my skill set and gain experience, Plus, great snacks.

Cons

I often felt overwhelmed, undervalued, and stressed out. Nepotism is rampant on the executive team which has resulted in an unorganized and inefficient workplace.

Thanks for the feedback, Brenna. It is true that this is a family-owned company, and the ownership group holds several managerial positions. But there are opportunities to advance for those that show initiative regardless of this perceived nepotism. (See our IT Director, Marketing Director, CDO, K2K Support Lead, Special Ops Manager, Field Ops Manager, CFO). Wishing you the best in your future endeavors. -Scott
