Pros

Working at BaseCamp I had amazing opportunities to grow and learn with the team. It's a small company (or was when I started) and the knowledge I learned and the experiences I gained were great for my career. Yes I worked long hours, but I took pride in what I did and wanted to put in the work to get things done. And as with any company, parts of the year you work 70+ hours while other times of the year you put in your standard 40.

Cons

The people who run this company are very nice and genuine people. They've been dealing in children's and teen resale since the early 90's. They know their stuff. The biggest con is that sometimes they don't have faith in their employees to do the job as well as they would have done it themselves. Because of that a lot of double work gets done in redoing things that didn't need to be redone. That causes frustration on both sides. Another huge con is the franchisee / franchisor relationship. It's not just this company, but anywhere you go where there is that dynamic, you're going to have a difficult and frustrating time enforcing franchise rules and regulations. Franchisee spends all the money to set up the business. Franchisor tells them how to run it ..... you can see why there's conflict.

Great suggestions! Our executive team has made a number of changes to the way we manage our departments, providing more autonomy to each team. I think the results have been positive. Thanks again for the feedback. -Scott Sloan, CEO

Pros

Basecamp Franchising has some of the best leadership this industry has to offer and it is an absolute dream to work here. The culture and work life balance is unmatched. If you ever align with the roles we have available you should absolutely give it a shot. The work is unique and rewarding and the opportunities are limitless. The new CEOs and the tech leadership we have here today are comprised of the kind of people you would be proud to associate with and I have no hesitation navigating our challenges under their direction.

Cons

The pay may not be quite on par with the growth and expectations in the area. The benefits are also so so, but I think premiums are skyrocketing everywhere and the effort this company takes to acknowledge this and do the best they can is noted.

Pros

Set your own schedule, freedom of owning a business, good support from the franchise, yearly conferences, peer owners' connection

Cons

owning a business isn't for everyone, competition is hard in some areas (do your research), dealing with minimum wage employees
