The College Pro Painters franchise has drawn much criticism, with detractors calling it a predatory scam. Commenter Peter Wilson has tolerated as much College Pro bashing as he can handle, and tells the whiners to “Shut the F up about it.”
(UnhappyFranchisee.Com) Peter Wilson is livid after reading the disparaging comments left about the College Pro Painters franchise here: COLLEGE PRO PAINTERS: Great Opportunity or Franchise Scam?
Commenter Peter Wilson writes that he didn’t make money, went into debt and had to drop out of school, but CPP-bashers Should shut the F up!
There’s more to investing in a business opportunity than getting a return on your investment.
Peter writes:
Ok so I’m steaming about some of the comments on here!
.
CPP is NOT a scam.
.
I ran a franchise in Denver for two years. Ok I didn’t make much money, in fact I owed quite a lot on credit cards and to the paint store at summers end, but the Company College Pro said I was a success, and gave me an award to prove it
.
Isn’t success more important than making money? I got a plack, with an engraved thing on it showing how successful I was, I hit the companies targets for me.
.
Yes, I had to drop out of school briefly to make money at the sports store to pay for tuition but CPP says I’m a success.
.
Some people criticize the 30% royalty rates the company takes. yes this is alot but importantly the company places alot of TRUST in you (me) the franchise owner.
.
My painters didn’t make much money either it seems and yeah they want to blame me, but I told them the company says I’m a success so shut the f up about it all
.
CPP ROCKS!
Perhaps those who lost money with College Pro Painters should look on the bright side, like Peter, who sees the paint can as half-full.
He has a plack.
A respected national company has dubbed him a success.
And few can dispute that he learned an important lesson about trust, investing and franchising that he will never forget… one that will guide him through the rest of his business career.
Plus, he got a plack!

COLLEGE PRO ABUSES OF THE GOOD FAITH OF YOUNG ADULTS
Please share this report released by CBC-Canada in 2008:

College Pro's recruiters are not clear and show inaccurate and incomplete information during the recruitment process. Their main target is the 18-years old student who seeks for a summer job opportunity. Usually, these teenagers aren't able to understand the legal and practical implications for him when he entered into the proposed contract. There is a clear unbalance relation between the parties where one party takes advantage of the other. The recruiters never mention about the high penalties the students have to pay if they quit the job or if they are fired by College Pro. These penalties could rise from 3,000 to 12,000 dollars for damages.
