Annnnnnnd.....
The truth comes out.
I have no experience with College Pro Painting. Honestly, based on what I've read here, I never will. When both customers and franchisees are complaining, well, obviously there's an issue. I don't do business with companies that treat employees and franchisees like shit.
Seems to me that there are multiple issues here, namely that the franchisor is strictly interested in enriching themselves. If they're making you pay a sign-on fee to "buy" the franchise, then that's a serious problem. But there's some obvious wage issues, scheduling issues and (most likely) safety issues here as well. As a former contractor myself, I find it impossible to believe that start-up franchisees are capable of conducting safety meetings and enforcing safety rules, especially with untrained owners.
Jkisaak, I'm going to take you at your word that you're not posting by corporate sanction. However, you should probably realize that what you're doing most likely violates your franchise agreement (it would on every franchise agreement I've ever read, which is a number that is definitely greater than 20). By taking you at your word, I'm not banning you as a spammer and deleting your posts. Perhaps the 800 number you posted will do someone some good down the road. Based on this thread that seems doubtful, but I've been wrong before.
I don't think that you can argue that there ISN'T something wrong over at College Pro on the franchisor level. If they're damaging YOUR brand so badly by recruiting folks that obviously don't understand the (recruiter setting the wrong expectation) or just screwing their employees (bad experience), and that gets documented HERE, then there's a real problem with that company. A quick google search showed that this thread is definitely not unique on the internet.
Also, by taking you at your word, I'm expect that you're going to stop being a one-note poster and venture out into the rest of the site. Or you can keep playing the game you've been playing and see how long my patience lasts.
