Pros

Great benefits and the Franchisees are like family.

Cons

Comp Plan changes almost every year and not necessarily for the good. Corporate is very shady the way they rolled it out. The communication with this company is the worst. As a DM you would be the last to know about anything important. Work life balance is the worst with way more time spent away from home. The commissions are no longer commissions, they are now bonuses and ranges are BS. Parent company spends too much time worrying about DEI.
