Complaint Review: Barrister Global Services

When Barrister offers an assignment to a subcontractor all terms and conditions are sent to him/her in an email with the assignment.  It is made very clear in the documents that failure to return parts will result in the technician being charged.  Barrister faces charges for non-returned parts and we count on our contracted techs to fulfill the job assignments and return the good unused or used parts using labels sent from the vendor who provides the parts.  When the tech fails to do so, he/she is charged back for the cost of the part.  The technician filing this complaint says that "everything was fine for a while"....but, suddenly Barrister has failed to pay him because he did not return a part.  Everything was fine and payments were made promptly because the technician completed the assignments and returned the parts.  He knew and understood what needed to be done and when he did it there were no payment issues.   A failure by the tech to comply with requirements he clearly understood, as he had done work and been paid promptly and correctly, does not constitute a "rip off" by Barrister.  What this post tells us is that this individual likely did not return the parts correctly causing him to be charged for the part not returned.  The tech should submit all supporting documentation he claims to have to show he returned everything on time and correctly to payissues@barrister.com, fully explain the issue and his desired result, and allow us the opportunity to assist him.  It sounds from his post as if several people at Barrister did try to assist him and he just did not have the proper information to support the part was returned causing Barrister to pay for a part and Barrister to pass along that cost to him, as it clearly states will be done in each and every dispatch emailed to a tech upon accepting assignment.  Barrister has not "ripped off" this tech or any tech.  In the few instances where a tech is not paid or, as in this case, charged back for non-return of a part, it is done after making numerous efforts to remind the tech to return the part or provide what is needed to facilitate payment.  Barrister paid over 3,000 technicians last year.  Compared to the very few who have posted negatively, it becomes apparent that Barrister is not mistreating or unfairly penalizing anyone.    We value and appreciate our techs and we make every effort to make sure they are paid promptly and correctly.  We work with the finest independent contractor technicians in North America and we are proud of our long history of fair and ethical payment practices.  We urge this technician to submit all of his documentation as described above and we will certainly take a look to see if there is an error on Barrister's part and if so, it will be promptly corrected.

I posted this to warn ALL who plan on working here, I apologize for the ignorance of this company and owner for hijacking my warnings to try and make themselves look better though it helped to show how this company and it's owner's operate.

This is will be my last post, if you do not believe me please just google this companies name and you will see I am not the only person that has had issues. 

RUN RUN RUN!

This is no game, this is peoples lives that y'all are ruining and making more difficult! I cannot wait for you and your family to fail, you are good at driving your business in the ground, so probably won't be long. 

Posting anonymously to a site like this is non productive and allows you to make foolish unsubstantiated statements that lead nowhere. I am signing my posts because I am addressing your lies. If you have an issue or concern please contact me. I know that you know how to do so as this has become a game of sorts to you.  I will not continue to reply to your anonymous posts. You are wasting your time, my time and the time of anyone reading this pure garbage. Please contact me and I will address any issue you'd care to discuss. 

I have never in my life seen a company that will fight and argue over supposed "lies" that are being put out about them, in their rebuttal they talk crap about the employee I mentioned in my origianl post that they made choose between work and his family, which goes to show just how this company treats it's employees. 

Like I said they strike again, they told the entire dispatch department in Hammond they have 2 weeks before they will be let go if they do not improve their numbers.  This right now is not possible due to the amount of people in the department (it is the time of year that a ton of people will be hired and fired) and they know this.

LIKE I SAID BEFORE, RUN!! 

The truth is the truth. 

Thousands of technicians are paid promptly and correctly by Barrister.  If there is an error or a delay, Barrister promptly resolves the matter with the technician.  Posting misinformation about our company is a way for some of the techs to try to steer others away from accepting work from Barrister.  It is a shameful practice.  We urge everyone who reads this kind of willful misrepresentation to disregard it as the fallacy it is. 

You guys are great at keeping with those scripts, amazing how all rebuttals just seem to say the same things over and over, like I stated previously I was not the employee who was made to make this decision. However, that was a perfect display of the negativity and abuse this company will put you through and just proved they still talk bad abot their employees after the leave.
