Pros

The team of people actually doing the work are stellar. There have been employees that work extremely hard to make a difference and are committed to success.

Cons

There's a lot of talking and very little action. The "leadership" team is not trustworthy and the owner speaks terribly about the employees. Regardless of the steadfast dedication of employees, there is no recognition and the employees will ultimately be blamed for the shortcomings of the company and the loss of business. The company culture is non existent. There is no leadership in the company. The owner is lost and the president is unfocused, unproductive and ineffective. There is no company wide communication. The president has to be the yes man to the owner or he won't be the president any longer. The review posted on this site that are positive are clearly from the president himself. There are only about 30 employees and no employee would write this type of glowing review.

Pros

The pay is good. It's based on projects completed, not hourly, and often comes out as a decent pay. Also, there is some gas allowance along with monthly incentive for completing all your projects. You are assigned a territory, so you have many of the same stores to visit regularly which makes it nice as you get to know others in those stores. The people working with the company have all been great and very friendly. Information given per projects are very thorough. The flexibility with in your months work is great. It definitely feels like a very stable company. As far as merchandising goes, it's better than most.

Cons

Communication "individually" isn't always that great. Often it's difficult to get a response to a question when needed. There isn't much on the job training. You are kind of thrown in there to figure out much on your own. And, there isn't much room for error. If you forget a photo or make a mistake, your report may not get approved, which may result in not getting paid for that project or your monthly incentive.

Pros

Sporting goods clients hold some cache

Cons

Franklin has some serious upper management and professionalism issues. The company has experienced many changes over the past few years, and suffered the effects of poor and unprofessional business practices stemming from upper management, and trickling all the way down. From their firing practices, to the profanities used in formal meetings, management has no problem making employees uncomfortable. Not to mention the unethical business practices. Lying to your biggest client, breaking the agreements of the contact, then sending company wide emails asking employees to "not mention it"... poor ethics.
