Pros
The Nashville team was basically a family. We checked up on one another, knew about one another's families, activities, etc. The franchise owners, Adam and Patrick, were down-to-earth men with reality and fun to work with, they knew their stuff.
Cons
The franchisor isn't so great. They only care about delivering leads to their star performer; who they idol in every presentation or training they can get too. Additionally, they require a $500 initial training session over the course of a week where they deliver techniques that are outdated by over a decade with little to no real substance regarding "how to" do things such as negotiate deals, create CRMs, etc.
Additionally, the comp structure is a joke. You are required to pay for your own leads, complete all the cold contact work, find, fix, and close dealers whereby then are immediately stripped of a franchisor's fee first for the commission before the commission is split 50/50 between you, who did everything, and the franchisee.
The franchisor training provided is subpar and they are stuck in their ways. Despite the franchisee locations providing lists of recommendations for how to provide more inclusive hands-on training, train-the-trainer walkthroughs, and more one-on-one training with your local franchisee owners all recommendations fell on deaf ears. The franchisee owners, at least in Nashville, were great, but the franchisor owners, well, not so much to keep this P.G. rated.
