I agree. As a young entrepreneur just starting out, I thought this cleaning franchise sounded like a good opportunity. Now, I just feel like I have a low-paying part-time job that I'm PAYING to have. Seriously, I could probably go get a part-time job at the mall and fare better.

First of all, this is my first time having a cleaning franchise; so, I'm not sure what typical rates are for commercial cleaning services. However, I feel like the accounts they give me HAVE to be underbid. I can BARELY afford to pay any employees based on what I get after they get their 20% and deduct my note.

Add to that that my accounts are too far apart to convince anybody that it's worth it to do them. Thus, I have no choice but to clean them myself. They took one account from me because they customer wasn't happy. I still have to pay for the account even though I don't have it anymore.

Meanwhile, they've sold the account to someone else, so they're getting DOUBLE the money for ONE account. I'm seriously trying to find a way to get out of this franchise.

Could not agree more. It's even worse then taking accounts away that they sell you. I am here in Phoenix and actually bid on an account next to one they sold. They pushed me out of that with complaints that turned out to be bogus and then sold an account I acquired on my own to another franchisee. I had another one where after my first night they said I didn't turn the alarm on. I remembered clearly that somebody was working there when I left. The next night I got the name of the person working there when I left. When the same complaint came in the next day, rather then defending me they told me I had to surrender the keys for an account I had just paid $1, 808 for.
Most of my other accounts were underbid pieces of garbage where I was the third or fourth Vanguard Franchisee who had been in there.
The only difference between Vanguard Janitorial Franchise company in Phoenix and the Mob is that mob admits they are organized crime.
The fact that it's operators are not in prison is evidence of an overcrowded prison system.
I am working to find people who were defrauded by this outfit to file a class action lawsuit.

A friend of the family started, owns and operates his own Cleaning business since 1988, in NJ...he was doing extremely well...his customers loved his service...then, the economy started to go down, and he lost some contracts as some of his companies started to clean their own offices, or he got outbid...for a majorly lower offer... ... ..so he heard about Vanguard Cleaning Systems...he invested in the company and Vanguard started getting him accounts...he went to the accounts...and all of a sudden, Vanguard would call him and say "The Customer isnt happy"... when the customers were telling HIM he was doing an exceptional job! ... now, keep in mind, he is STILL paying the outrageous money to Vanguard for being a franchise person...he NEVER heard a word from Vanguard that he was doing a bad job! This went on and on and on, a while would pass and boom another company wasn't happy... ...for the first time EVER concerning his work skills...and the reputation of his company... in fact... he was smart enough to still be cleaning some of his long time customers, that were able to keep him... that he had for 15 years...18 years..etc and they were still very happy with his work as mentioned above...he thought he was doing himself a favor by getting into the Vanguard SCAM! I told him to get out! He said he was "boxed" in with paying them...but felt there was something "very"wrong with the picture...concerning this company... they seem to all of a sudden tell you you arent doing a good job, while you still owe them a few months at $275 a month or whatever and then dump you! ...get someone else in the company you just got dumped from, and then they have DOUBLE money...while the other person isnt working there anymore... it is like a "piramid scheme" in a sense...it sounds confusing maybe, but, there is something really really wrong here... I am really really surprised there hasn't been a "Class Action" lawsuit against this company...it is VANGUARD that is making the money...NOT the people getting "hooked" into this farce... it is kind of like the snake oil salesman lol ..."Have I got a deal for you" ...they also put you in the worst places with the worst history of unhappy clients KNOWING you will fail..so they can drag another person into the Franchise..and make MORE money! Stand up and fight people! Start a class action...and bring NJ into it! i am sick of watching this nice Man get scammed when he is just trying to feed his family! it is heartbreaking!

As the owner of Vanguard Cleaning Systems of Allentown I first have to apologize to you that you found some sort of scam website on the internet. I will tell you though that this is not our site. The phone number you list is not ours, and our email address' all end in @vanguardcleaning.com. I don't know what @vanguardcleaningnepa.com is. That is not affiliated with our company. We are a reputable company with 65 locations throughout the US and Canada - obviously running a spam website would not benefit us in any way.

I work for Vanguard and that email address is bogus first off. Secondly, you should have scanned the attachments before opening them. That really stinks that you got a trojan horse, btw. I access their site almost daily and have never gotten anything like that. I don't know what you accessed, but it wasn't their legitimate site. You might have already had a Trojan. I've worked for them for a while and want to pass on some advice. Don't let something like an email interaction turn you away from a good opportunity. If you want some info email me. I have the corporate rolodex and would be happy to forward any info you might be seeking. Or you can call me at Vanguard of Hampton Roads [protected] ext 106. I'd be happy to chat and put any drama to rest. Thanks!
