YahoooooooO! College PRO! Uhh yeah. I painted for my buddy who had a franchise for three years. He made REALLY GOOD money (something on the line of $60,000 each summer, varying). Then again, he worked on it night and day.

I think overall though, College Pro is a bad company. The painters are all rookies, customers are manipulated into giving you good ratings (Workers get an extra dollar an hour if they get a 5/5 rating, and the customer is told that, so of course they are going to give the 5/5 so they won't feel like a jerk. Then, when the franchise manager is trying to make a sale he will show his client all the 5/5 ratings he has gotten in the past...), the company takes a huge cut our of your hard earned $$$, and essentially teaches bad business ethics to franchise managers.

My brother was going to do it, and signed the papers, but then changed his mind. Since then, college pro has been hounding him for money they say he owes them.

My advice, don't do College Pro. There are wayyyy better summer jobs out there.
