Pros

Franchise's are encouraged to hire under trained employees, so there is a lot of room to grow personally but not professionally.

Cons

Horrible hours. On call all the time. Amoral business practices. Encouraged to manipulate customers out of money. Encouraged to tell customers to sign forms without reading them while they're in a state of shock about their situation. You will be trained on many new systems and processes but allowed no growth in your salary. Expected to pay for all your own training within months of joining the company. The franchises are encouraged to remain understaffed to maximize profits.

Pros

Immediate leadership was great, and starting pay was competitive. There are people who genuinely want to see the company succeed. The owners were personable and made a point to interact with all of the staff.

Cons

Dishonest. When hired I was promised commissions on profitable jobs. My whole time there I, my boss, and the only other project manager never saw a bonus, even though the department saw very significant increases in profit margins since I was hired, due in large part to the changes made to the process between my boss and myself. I was moved out to the region for this job and missed some time due to complications with the move, as well as some health struggles. I was given understanding and advised to keep and eye on it. When given news that our department was essentially dissolving and I would be taking on the work of half the team, I left early to discuss with my wife. On returning I was immediately terminated without any warning whatsoever and nothing lined up in a state I haven’t had time to make connections. Infighting among the staff is also an ongoing issue.
