I worked for the owner of this operation from Sep 19 2012 to Oct 19 2012 literally made it one month with this slimeball. The first week I was employed his worker and him were using peoples property for personal errands, all of which the customer was not made aware of . so unlawful use and entry of a vehicle and I witnessed this over 4 different vehicles. As time went on I grew very uncomfortable with the day to day business practices, His corporate office is at the address listed and the address is also a thrift store. So while going thru the files he wanted me to so call fix because there was no paper trail I found random people's credit card information laying around the thirft store in paper sacks, on counters, on the ground, in a box on a counter in wide open sight of any customer that came into the thirft store. Can you say Illegal.. ok so it also gets better. This Dr that had parked with them for appx. a year had also pulled his rv out a year ago to date. He came by the office to inquire why his credit card had been charged for a year when the lot attendant and owner fully were aware that he no longer parked with them. The owners response in no way am I liable for any of that and no you cannot have payment back for the last year. Amazing business owner eh? 2 months prior to my employment the owner and his worker sold an rv of a customers without a title and without paying her for the sale of the motorhome. She has no taken the information to an atttorney I spoke with him on the phone and had no idea what to say because the owner  was at the bar getting drunk. Someone needs to sue every last dollar out of him. So he comes back from the bar and by this time im three weeks into the job, ive hired him a personal assistant that was great at her job, and a marketing assistant. By the third week ive asked the owner to stop calling me honey, baby, sweetie, doll. I told him it makes me very uncomfortable, pissed, angry. To no avail here i sit without a job because of making mention of unwanted sexual harrassment and illegal business practices. I ask for my pay since I quit and still have not recieved the pay for last weeks work Last but not least all of his advertising is illegal. His ads on craigslist which is the market he targets the most is "all lies"...in the ads they say park with us we have onsite security, theres no one that lives on the lot. The ad also says security cameras which they dont have because theres no power, or internet there. Internet would take 5000.00 to get it in the location. Take a look at the pics on the ads. Not even the same lot that they have. Its pictures of an old lot they had a year and ahalf ago. That got shut down most likely due to drug use from the owner.Yes so top it all off he is also a druggie. Check it out google...parkrose Rv Storage. All the reviews are true. Dont make the mistake I did and work for or employ their services.

We're actually having to file in court.  This company has stolen our vehicle and our possessions.  We have solid, indisputable proof of this, and conveniently they have it to us in writing, probably without realizing it.  They decided to apply retroactive fees amounting to hundreds of dollars for reasons we can prove are false (such as claiming we delivered a dead vehicle, even though we drove it in and parked it just fine), and gave us a couple hours to give them the money or they were going to file a lien.  Now they won't even let us get our child's things.  Scarily they offered to take our vehicle "off our hands" for free, and they own a junk shop on premises.  

So we will be seeing this company in court for theft.

#6UPDATE EX-employee responds

I am also an ex-employee of this company and also a current customer parking with the company.  The previous ad was made by an ex-employee who got fired for lack of common courtesy and very vulgar talk to customers and other employees.  She always was talking about what here and her boyfriend did the night before and very explicit in all the details.  When asked not to talk like that she would just get worse.  She was only not paid for her last weeks pay because she refuses to give the office keys back and the owner had to buy all new locks.  The lie about customers credit cards laying around the office is an out right lie.  Considering all of the customers info is all stored on the secretary's computer, so if any one is to see the credit card numbers or any other info of a customer it is only the boss and his secretary.  There has never been any sexual harassment from the boss it was all in her head.  I would still be an employee of his if it weren't I went back to school.  I think Parkrose Rv Storage was a great  company to work for and a great place to park my vehicle.  By the way the line about the boss going to the bar and getting drunk well that was a lie also because where actually was, was at a restaurant having dinner with a potential backer.  People just need to get a life and not bad mouth other people just because of their misfortune of not having a job.

Answer to Unprofessional Behavior

I am a customer of Parkrose RV Storage. I came in to their office to pay my parking contract in late September and definitely had some issues with one of their employees. This girl was rude, foul-mouthed, and seriously offensive. She kept cursing over and over when I was talking to her and she was super irritable, which is obviously not how a secretary should act when talking to a customer. She was sitting at her desk picking her teeth with a plastic toothpick, which was pretty disgusting.

The next time I went in, I talked to the owner about her behavior, and apparently he had gotten so many complaints about her that he fired her. I guess she was so angry about being fired that she wrote a phony Ripoff Report about the business! I appreciate the fact that the owner listens to customers and honestly considers our opinions, because the last time I went to the Parkrose office she had been replaced by a really nice lady who was very helpful and sweet. I love going to the A to Z Bargains thrift store/Parkrose office to look around at all their awesome stuff, so it was great to go back and have a positive experience.

I would advise anyone who gets their information off the internet from reports like this to actually go in to a business and visit them personally to check them out before making any sort of decision.

Rebuttal to Accusatory Statements

#6UPDATE Employee

Thu, November 08, 2012

I am currently employed as a marketing manager at Parkrose RV Storage.  I worked personally with the former employee who wrote the above report, so I have an inside perspective on the issue at hand. This former employee has claimed that harassment was an issue during the time of her employment, but this is not the case. In fact, for the duration of her employment with Parkrose RV Storage, she consistently comported herself in a vulgar and unprofessional manner. She often made uncouth, overtly explicit comments to other employees on the team, and would even recount graphic sexual stories, which made other team members feel very uncomfortable in their otherwise pleasant work environment. Her tasteless remarks and disagreeable demeanor often made me feel ill at ease, and I felt embarrassed to have customers around when she was working due to her unethical attitude.

She was dismissed from her position, which has angered her, but this anger is unjustified. It is unfortunate that her inability to conduct herself with any professionalism has led to her defamatory, slanderous proclamations, but obviously these are the statements of someone who cannot divorce her personal life from her professional life. Parkrose RV Storage is an honorable establishment and a well-run business, as well as a great place to work.

Response to former employee

#6REBUTTAL Owner of company

Our former employee, Stefanie, who was fired due to bad performance posted a slanderous add due too disappointment from being fired.
This employee left with keys to the business and without filling out proper employment paper work. We have been trying to contact her to get these issues amended and get her her closing payments. However she has been evasive and posting slanderous comments all over the web in reference to the business and management.
We would like for her review to be kindly removed from your website.

Please get back to me with your response.

Sincerely,
Parkrose RV Storage
