Pros

Strong corporate leadership and positive work environment. Fun and enjoyable work environment with creative people and a product that all businesses need. Lots of good marketing and a great corporate reputation and brand recognition.

Cons

Franchises are individually owned so you must answer to local owner not corporate executives. There seems to be a disconnect from the corporation to the local ownership.

Pros

If you like working by yourself it's not that bad.

Cons

Poorly run company in general who blames CSRs for crippling debt of company without any proper training. Sales managers yell at CSRs and creates a hostile work environment due to own stresses. No set policies or procedures in place and everyone is basically running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Absolutely no benefits because they don't make enough sales(which is your fault as the CSR) and you will get overtime but that is because there is no one there to make sure you get a lunch break. No rooms for advancement because it's a small company. Provides discounts/favors for friends, does sub par work, and then has to do more discounts to account for shoddy work in which case they will shift the blame to CSRs. Rules apply to only some employees and not others.

Pros

Everyday is different, you get to make really unique signs and help your community businesses gain more attention.

Cons

No respect, hostile work environment, unhappy people, poor communication, boss throws temper tantrums. Threats of being fired were a common occurrence, threats of pay being deducted for mistakes from miscommunication in orders. This shop is run by fear and talented employees get treated like idiots on a daily basis.

Pros

These stores are all owned independently, so you may find a manager who actually knows what they are doing.

Cons

You will not get paid what you deserve, extremely poor management, poor work environment (the store floods, the printer gives off toxic fumes because the owner refuses to fix it) Also, the owner will cut your checks without any warning. Some employees offered insurance while some are told they don't offer any.
