Good while they like you, but no communication. - Senior Data Scientist bei The Interface Financial Group: Mitarbeiterbewertung

The company has a clear mission to help finance growing businesses. My co-workers are smart, talented, and fun to work with. Technology is cutting-edge. Very nice offices at HQ, located in downtown Bethesda, near Metro. Lots of snacks and food.

The company is 47 years old and well-established, but works like a start-up. You should be flexible and forward-thinking to succeed at IFG.

Make your own schedule, develop your own list of clients and learn about many new businesses. Role gave me a chance to try new strategies for networking and meeting contacts.

Royalties and fees charged by franchisor are high and the system is stacked against you - you often wound up losing money. IT systems were amateurish and faulty. Management was horrible. One person - George Shapiro - runs the entire show and is an autocratic with no people skills. During my decision making process, he was rarely mentioned. Then after I shelled out money to buy in, I found out he makes all decisions. Horrible franchise. David Banfield is listed as CEO when he is nothing more than a talking head.
