never allow your son or daughter work for college pro and dont be fooled into thinking you are helping the struggling college student!
I worked for college pro this summer and had the WORST experience ever. I was made to go on ladders with no proper training very high off the ground that were also not tied down. Had no safety equipment. I fell off a ladder and hurt my neck, but felt pressure from the franchise manager to not see a doctor. told to put primer over mold as if that was a fix. Did not work with anyone who was actually going to school besides my friend who found me the job. Was passed on to a different franchise manager without being asked or given any significant reason. With my new manager I was asked on more than one occasion to buy supplies for the job... and then chewed out when I said I was not comfortable paying for supplies. My boss actually said to me, "can you please explain to me why you are not comfortable!" in a very angry voice and when I told him that i dont think it is my responsibility to do so he flipped out. I told him that I did not think it was my job to do so...i am the painter, I paint...he is the owner, he supplies!!! plus i saw his card decline when i drove HIM to the store to buy a wrench during the work day, why would I ever trust him to pay me back. There was absolutely no professionalism what so ever. After two days I called my old franchise manager to ask if i can come back seeing that he passed me off to my new manager, his frat brother, with no explanation. My original manager agreed to take me back but when I quit he didnt answer my phone call for three days and then told me that it was gonna work out...funny how that works! the stories go on but I am saving my breathe for every newspaper, news station, college campus, parent, and potential customer that will listen!! oh and maybe Jesse James!!
college pro is neither hires college students and I would not say it is even close to a professional business!!
