We were a A All Animal Control franchise owner in Southern CT for Mark Dotson FOR 5 PLUS YEARS. We were one of his top producing offices..." Top producing " barely pays the bills! Mark charges you 7 percent of gross per month plus an start up fee of 30,000. This service gets you a big book with nothing but common knowledge in the Nuisance Wildlife industry. You can attend a YEARLY NWCOA seminar for $1000 and get the same information...
Mark tries to preach about being a A ALL ANIMAL CONTROL FAMILY but all he cares about is your monthly check. After having to get a second job to pay the bills Mark gave me one day to decide if I wanted to work fill time for AAAC or lose my franchise rights. THis was after 5 years of service and sending him over 100,000 in royality fees. He claims to be this nationwide company yet says he cannot compete against OTHER nationwide companies like Orkin, Critter Control, and Terminex. Many of the top selling offices leave after 4 or 5 years of service...
He also marks up every product you have to buy to try and make more money off you from truck letter, to business cards / office suppies, safety videos and apparrel. Do not waste your hard earned money on this franchise system. All Mark cares about is the all mighty dollar... Sure he will give you references but never from the franchises that leave him...
