Hrm.
So it may be a cult and at least one person had a bad time as a painter. It's good to get perspective, so far the potential marketing and early season hours were the only negative things I had heard. I had a second interview today, which went well, so I'm conflicted.
They are really emphasising team work and the network/support system, and the general manager that I've talked to is also putting emphasis on 'fit'. If I fit the job and if the job fits me, etc. I could see the 'cult' perspective.
I've talked to few of the managers from previous years; quite of few of them have had 'recommendation bonuses'. This means that 90+% of thier customers, when filling out a questionaire after the job is complete would recommend them to others and use them again. They also boast a 80% return rate for painters. Obviously, they are going to focus on the positive. They have also mentioned that a successfull rookie manager can pull in alright money, which is the draw for me.
Slacker, what area were you working in? I'm in Edmonton, Alberta. I wonder if your expereinces are indiciative of the entire business or just your area\manager. It has been mentioned that a couple managers every year fail to perform and turn a profit. How did your franchise manager end up at the end of the summer?
