Worst Company to work for at the Corporate level, PERIOD. - Marketing Director Erbert & Gerbert's Employee Review

Their entire value proposition is a hoax and a lie. While the job pays well (hence my reason for staying), it has been tough working in Corporate, seeing how they coax potential franchisees into buying one of their stores--the ROI is so unproven, yet we act like this ROI is a normality when we pitch to Franchisees. Left and right, I have seen people fork over their life savings, and we act like they will get a return--they never do. Nor do I feel the support we offer to our franchisees is up to par. We offer them very little support or guidance once you buy your store, yet we hold you to extremely strict guidelines relative to marketing efforts, supplier relationships, distribution, etc. Stores are closing left and right, people's futures are being ruined...FRANCHISEES THIS IS A WARNING: DO NOT BUY A FRANCHISE FROM E&G. You will regret it. It gives me peace knowing this review is anonymous; at work, I cannot say this feedback outloud, as I would be completely undermining our 'core offering'. However, it breaks my heart to see a Corporation lie to innocent people and to not follow through on their end of the bargain. Trust me when I say this, E&G Corporate doesn’t blink an eye when a Franchisee closes their store—they are truly a soulless group of Leadership and I feel ashamed to be a part of this brand.
