The work is addicting.... sometimes you take it home with you. Traffic in Bethesda is challenging.

Make your own schedule, develop your own list of clients and learn about many new businesses. Role gave me a chance to try new strategies for networking and meeting contacts.

Royalties and fees charged by franchisor are high and the system is stacked against you - you often wound up losing money. IT systems were amateurish and faulty. Management was horrible. One person - George Shapiro - runs the entire show and is an autocratic with no people skills. During my decision making process, he was rarely mentioned. Then after I shelled out money to buy in, I found out he makes all decisions. Horrible franchise. David Banfield is listed as CEO when he is nothing more than a talking head.
