Pros

The checks cleared every other Tuesday, but at the rate they are losing clients, will that continue?

Cons

Low pay Poor, absentee management Overworked staff When I started, TopFire had 20 employees. Now, there are less than 10. Work is (or will be) subbed out to other firms That specialize in PPC and SEO. Why would a company engage TopFire when they don’t do work? They have capable developers and designers, but only allow them to use templates designs. Businesses are often sold a bill of goods. The president promises fast leads by the president, but that doesn’t afford staff a chance to learn the brand and its potential audience. The client gets mad and leaves. That seems to have been a cycle that TopFire has been stuck in since its inception. Most staff cycles through the business in 8-10 months.

Pros

TopFire Media is one of the top franchising marketing agencies in the nation and it is on the move! Moving, shaking and growing. It is built with a solid expert foundation that supports team members growth and collaboration. You always feel like you have a voice and can make a difference.

Cons

Franchising marketing is addicting and white glove service is a 24/7 job. It’s hard to to shut down.

Pros

-Flexible schedule -Very friendly staff -Great knowledge about franchising to receive from a few business legends. -Great portfolio builder -Great networking opportunities

Cons

-No promised contractual bonusing for Account managers bringing in new clients. -It’s a hotbed of liability -Requests for performance reviews being completely ignored on part of turnover and saving a dime. - No actual design team -No department heads -No true “production manager” ahead of deliverables. As an AM, you’re it. Good luck, stay disciplined. -Fly-by-night third party white label services -No plans to train incoming replacements so the weight falls on the AMs to show newcomers the ropes right now. It’s the company’s responsibility to train. -You can be the most skilled AM on the planet and feel your head spin in the disorganization of middle and upper management. The goalposts for process remain inconsistent. -Don’t be a sucker. There’s nothing to incentivize the really great employees. Your gift for good work is more work. No scaled compensation.
