Could be a great franchise if corporate management was better and more supportive of franchisees. Also, there is a high amount of risk due to issues with haulers. That risk can only be mitigated by going deeper out of pocket for a waste hauling business to protect smash business.

The other franchisees are a great bunch of people and the concept of the business is great. It's nice to help companies become more environmentally friendly and save money at the same time.

Corporate management and risk associated with the business model. Basically, unless you also want to get into hauling, you risk your business evaporating if you have trouble with a hauler. Also, the greed of the franchisor is over the top. The franchise was sold as an "absentee owner" franchise and it is very far from that.

There is a serious lack of support for franchisees. Corporate management likes to say they provide "world-class" support, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Also, the greed is way over the top.
