Blue Ribbon Representation LLC. CEO:Patrick Vick There are a group of us who have never been paid after putting up from costs to work for the company and being lured into unpaid training courses that were equivalent to a full time job, no paid breaks or even breaks at all as they were NON PAYMENT FOR WORK PERFORMED-SCAM Grandville Michigan
After 2 months of monetary investment, time allocation, unpaid training and up front costs to work as a customer service professional under various Independent Business Operators for Arise Virtual Solutions, to whom CSR work is outsourced by companies like Staples, Comcast, Disney, etc. I have yet to receive a cent, a check or any form of compensation for any of the work that I performed during the two months that I was contracted to work as a CSP for Comcast. The 1099 contract that I signed with the "IBO" called Blue Ribbon Representation, LLC., owned and operated by Patrick Vick, never mentioned anything to me about an arbitration clause and so I was never made aware of Arise's arbitration clause, I did not sign anything under Arise either as my contract was directly with BRRep, LLC. Long story short, a group of us have worked long hours, with unmentioned and unpaid breaks, after a period of unpaid training that was equivalent to a full time job (despite being lured into the position with promises of a flexible schedule), only to be denied compensation by our IBO's and Arise Virtual Platform. I'm not sure if this is a case of employee misclassification but there is definitely some wage theft going on here.
