Property Management Inc.

I enjoy the relationships I've been able to develop with the Franchisee community. Corporate does offer a large amount of resources that makes standing up your business easy.

I feel corporate has changed. I don't feel the same level of relationships with the corporate staff I did when I started. I don't like the costs to add new pillars to your franchise, if corporate is going to make money off of revenue you shouldn't need to pay large amounts of money to add. Corporate I feel doesn't understand the amount needed just to start a new pillar on top of what they want for a new pillar. I don't like that business coaches seem to keep changing so often, this absolutely be avoided. You build a relationship with your coach and they know your business, the knowledge is lost every time you change. The push for a BDM is too overwhelming. If your small, you can't afford it. Required software systems are expensive and not much of a vendor discount is given for something PMI is requiring nation-wide.

It’s got potential

Their systems are not cutting edge. Their tech stack is useless.

PMI provides resources, training and expertise. They're not going to run your business for you, but they will provide all the support you need and have a culture that cares for the franchisees

Regulations can vary widely by city/state, as a franchisee you need to do your own research on your local requirements. PMI could also standardize financial setup and reporting for new franchisees better.

software is good

they sell the world and don't offer much; national advertising is supposed to start. I haven't seen it. Pay alot for not alot.

Let us do mostly what we want with little oversight

Lack of support when there is a question. One is better off to find out an answer by themselves as it takes corporate too long to get back or sometimes doesn't get back at all.
