Pros

- Helping contribute to the success of Franchises - the owners, team members and families. - Convention - it’s great, you will always go somewhere warm! (minus hearing about it 1 million times to make up for all the toxic things) - Coworkers - For the most part… however most of them have left now because of the bad culture.

Cons

When you first start, you think, “Wow, this is a place that I can contribute and make a great impact!” Then you start to notice all the things - the jumpstarts, the notables & quotables, the endless mandatory ‘trainings’ for franchise owners - all center around 1 person spewing continuous thoughts. Truly, the only person in the company that matters… and he will tell you or imply it all the time. So much so that the workers are bashed in conversation and for anyone that leaves, there is always a story that follows. Typically, that “they weren’t good/dedicated” or “the right fit”. No one can do a project right, but the 1 and he will tell you. … It’s funny how incompetent the leadership team is, but they somehow stay and EVERYONE else is the problem. Countless people leave or have left because of the leadership here. If you are a part of a ‘Sunday meeting group’ or are someone’s cousin’s brother from the ‘Sunday meeting group’, you’re good to go! Truly, the ones in power that have stayed are followers with no backbones. ‘Integrity’ is compromised consistently. The so called core values are stated, printed and hyped all the time. At the end of the day they mean nothing. Everyone is expendable, move on to the next best. Do as I say, no as I do. Unfortunately, it’s the franchise owners that have invested their money and life into trusting this system, that ultimately get the worst end of the deal. The corporate team members will keep leaving because of this toxic culture.

Pros

It's a job; there are no pros other than quitting.

Cons

Low pay due to the ungodly high rate of royalty fees a franchise has to pay 9 and 11% of each contract. The territory debt each franchise owner incurs is crazy! The territory debt is anywhere from $1-6 million to be paid back at aproxemintly 10%. Each franchise owner has to renew their franchise agreement every 3 years. Signal puts franchise owners into serious debt. Franchise owners are forced to enter into contracts with strategic partners at no profit, all the while being told it will help pay off the debt sooner, as if that is a good thing. Because of this model, the guards suffer the most. Franchise owners can't increase pay for the people who show up and do the hard part of the job. No one will move up in the franchise model; someone has to quit for that to happen. DOn't let the "career opportunities" that are preached fool you. They mean nothing and are just there to make you feel like you're achieving something when, in reality, you're not. The training provided is a complete joke and is highly overrated. You will be treated as if you're important, but it's just abuse. Abuse that starts from the very, very top.
