Menu Master Crazy owners Spring Mills Pennsylvania

Hey  GA!  Get a clue!  I find your report a little on the unbelievable side.  I understand that you are a buddy of the Sweeleys and want to stand up for them but did you ever think that maybe youre the one getting the line fed to you?  All the people on this site complaining about MM and Cindy arent all ex-employees.  Have you even read all the reports?  Theyre from customers, franchise owners and even their old printer!  Are you suggesting theres some kind of conspiracy out there trying to take down Menu Master or the Sweeleys?  Or, when the light of day finally hits you and your sanity has returned, do you finally understand that there are people out there that have been gypped by your hero, Cindy Sweeley?

Its sad to see that she cannot separate her own personal beliefs from how she runs her business.   She should learn to be professional enough to leave her religious views at the door and not push it off on everybody who enters her office.  Maybe all those people you speak of being so accepting of Cindy and her religious yammerings are doing so to ensure they still have a job the following day.  Surely you cannot be so nave to believe that employees dont say what their employers want to hear to win brownie points or stay on their good side.  Youd be surprised what people will put up with to keep collecting a paycheck.  If they want to preach, they should open a legitimate church.  If they want to be counselors, earn a legitimate degree and open a clinic.  But if they want to business owners, they should learn how to run a business and not play preacher or head shrink.  And about all this religious persecution Cindy has to go through, nobodys complaining about her being a Christian.  Just her business ethics. 

Since there's been alot of talk about Menu Master and its 'unprofessional' practices as well as the owners themselves, I wanted to give the readers a quick Inside View of what goes on behind closed doors. I am a friend of the Sweeley family and have been for a few years now. They hired me a while ago to do graphic designing for MM. I started out working from their home office in Spring Mills, then my family and I had to relocate to Harrisburg and I continued as a freelance artist for them.

I have to say from the very beginning I noticed that this business was unlike any other. I knew the owners were Christian and didn't think much of it, but when I had my interview it started out with talk about my availability and portfolio, and ended with me accepting Lord Jesus as my personal savior. I was utterly shocked when I left that day. I didn't know what to think, all I knew was that I had found an amazing, once in a lifetime opportunity and I wasn't about to screw it up.

I have enjoyed every moment of working for Cynthia & Robert. Not once have I felt forced into anything or pushed to believe something I didn't want to. It hurts me to see all these bad remarks about this couple and this business. I know for a fact that deep down these 2 people have a gift that goes unappreciated everyday! Everybody has their own views on religion, and sometimes when they are introduced to something new and different it scares them so they react with hate and disapproval. But honestly, both Cynthia & Robert want nothing more than to help you.

I have seen the cycle that goes on in that office. Most of the people that come on board are in desperate need of help and assistance. Whether they be single parents on poverty or someone stuck in a life rut just trying to get back on their feet. I can't remember one person ever being turned down for a position with MM regardless of what their skills were. So they are hired, they love it at first, are accepting of EVERYTHING that goes on professional or personal, then something happens that doesnt quite meet their approval, they confront the owners about it, and either Cynthia or Robert try to solve it, but still its not to the satisfaction of the employee, so they leave on a bad note, and from there they tell everyone they know that MM is the worst thing that every happened to them.

I think its funny that people will accept Cynthia and her speaking about God when everything is ok. But the moment something inconvenient happens she goes from being a woman of God to a false prophet in a split second. I guess its human nature to dislike something when it doesnt go your way. But after everything she does for her employees, than to be turned on so suddenly like that.... doesnt seem quite right if you ask me.

I understand that people are going to run their mouth to the entire world when they are upset about something, especially when it comes to money. But first of all understand this, nothing on this planet is to perfection. Accidents and problems occur every second of everyday in fact. Has MM made mistakes? Yes. Could certain events been handled alot better? Absolutely. But you name me one business out there that has never made a mistake in the history of their existence. MM strives to be everything it can be for its customers and employees. Point blank.

I myself have had bad experiences with both Robert & Cynthia. But instead of just assuming that they must be terrible people I work the problem out face to face with them. These 2 people have ALOT on their shoulders, everyday. They are only human and deal with problems as best as they can. I am willing to bet anyone reading this that if you were given the chance to step into their shoes and live their lives for a week, you wouldnt last but a few days. Everybody reading these reports are getting once side of the story and are now under the assumption that all these ex-employees have been through oh-so much and 'how dare' MM treat them this way. Try getting the other side of the story before making your minds up so quickly. Then see just how you feel about all these people and their remarks. It will make you think, I promise you that much.

I was set back a bit to read this report. I am not aware of any of this. If you would contact me concerning this matter please do.
