FastSigns reviews about "training"

Fast signs is a franchiser. So while you get some of the benefits of working for a large company, you’re at the mercy of the franchise owners and aren’t really protected from unprofessional behavior or being fired on a whim. Also with the sheer volume of clients, you get a lot of people with small orders who are very entitled who don’t realize how much time and work goes into custom made signs.

- little upward mobility - need more training in on-boarding

Can be stressful at times.

Training was horrible. They never show you what you’ll actually have to go through in person. Tech support sucks. Literally no benefits.

No training, wasn’t shown how the printers worked with the programs. Boss never in office. Was expected to run the place while being brand new. I’ve had several design jobs, this was the most difficult to manage.

Manager is extremely unprofessional, rude to customers, rude to staff. Low pay. Job role has been changed completely, supposed to be a graphic designer but instead just a sales advisor. Little to no training. Pricing policy is bad.

Fast paced, limited training, and an expectation to continually split roles

Entry level salary Sometimes short-staffed which can lead to delays

My experience was completely opposite of what was explained during the interview. They promised training with someone who had been in the field a very long time and that was minimal. I wouldn't be able to ask for questions without attitudes or other employees freaking out. The accounts were divided in justly. They basically set me up for failure from the begging and then said I wasn't learning fast enough. They agreed to hire me without experience and train me but they had little patience and there was no formal training. It is a complex business and lots to learn. They expe Ted me to learn years of knowledge in just a couple of months. I was thrown into the position and had to figure my way through. I made them increase sales my first month and hot my goal and I still was not good enough for them. Many occasions I overhead many in appropriate conversations held by the 2 owners. They take advantage of there employees and just see dollar bills above your face. Prices are tweaked and customers overcharged. The owners plotted against me and the final altercation forced me to leave because of a hostile work environment. They discriminated my beliefs and mental health capacity. The owners started yelling and I felt threatened so I was forced to resign. No professionalism, zero ethics towards employees and customers. Really opened my eyes to how money can tranform people and blind them with errogance.
