Matco Tools reviews about "training"

No advancement, micromanaged at times, too many meetings

difficult learning curve 6-12 months before you have a comfortable grasp on tasks. training is spotty management doesn't always communicate effectively

The DM is expected to wear many hats and does the same jobs the competitors have 3-4 people doing. Expect to give up time on weekends and evenings monthly for sales meetings and trainings to accommodate the company and franchises as well as spend long hours on the road during the week. DM's are assigned too many DBR's per District contributing to DBR separations. The variable comp plan they pitch is one sided in favor of the company and only compensates for new starts and recruiting. Diagnostic support weak and all done remotely.

Poor leadership. So many new people all with their opinion on what direction to go causes confusion. Poor training Little schedule flexibility

I can't think of any cons.

Business model built upon finding the uneducated, unsofiscated, gullible prospect then sending an uneducated, unsofiscated, greed-motivated employee who will say or do anything to get a contract signed, which obligate the new franchisee to extremely high interest "in-house" loans. This is followed by no training, a falsified route set-up and constant pressure to buy more inventory, which is over priced to the competition and market. SNAP-On owns this industry as evidenced by an 80 percent failure rate for Marco franchisees in the first two years. Most major banks and the SBA REFUSE to finance ANY Matco venture regardless of the prospective franchise's credit rating (research Google SBA Matco Tools failure rate) then you'll know why they were forced into the much touted "in-house" financing (at extremely high interest rates).
