Experience with Franchises?

Curious to hear anyone's experiences with purchasing/operating a franchise. Pros and cons?

I have recently begun looking at opportunities to purchase or start a business with a couple partners. We have been doing a few exploratory calls with franchises. Some seem too good to be true, which I'm sure they are.

Doing your homework will uncover the fallacy of lower risk in the franchise sector. As one of the searchers said to me, "why would I want to rent a business when I can own one?"
