Snap-On Tools Pushed me out of my own business after investing 100’s of thousands of dollars!!

A Snap-on franchise I would run from not walk! You are controlled by Snap-On on how and when to run your business. There is constant interference from many levels of management as well.(FPT). They charge your “statement” without notice of things they say you purchased and then get you into a spot you cant work your way out. There is constant intimidation from the VP to Business Managers.

Selling rooms with bedbugs and dangerous hotel equipment

As the front desk employee, I have immediate concerns that need to be brought up regarding unsafe and unsanitary conditions being presented to our guests. We have rented rooms when there was blatant evidence of bedbug infestations, and many pieces of equipment are hazardous due to their defective state. The owner refuses to buy replacement televisions, for example, instead still utilizing ones manufactured in 2007, which are long discontinued. He has stated…

Workers not doing their jobs and management not enforcing them to do there jobs. The waits are at least 30 min for an order.

Your workers are on their phones, instead of working. The wait times to get food is outrageous. So many people leave because of the long waits. Your managers are not enforcing teamwork. They are not doing there jobs. Something needs to be done about this. Hire more workers that want to work and fire management that doesn’t enforce teamwork.
