I think it is obvious this employee is upset about losing their job and very bitter. I currently work for alpine payment systems. I have met the owner of the company as he had me over for dinner one night. He and his family are very nice people. I have had nothing but good experiences with this company, in fact I am still here mostly due to the fact that the people around me are amazing people with great integrity. I have thought about quitting its a hard job. Some days are great but when you don't get a sale for a while it takes a lot out of you emotionally. Luckily everyone here is so motivational it gives you a reason to keep going and always try to improve. As far as not saving people money. I have had plenty of my clients send me referrals to other merchants because they were so happy. Our rates are very competitive and we dont hide fee's or lie about them. If anyone does they aren't the type of people alpine wants around. The guy with the complaint was an appointment setter he called businesses and set up appointments for agents like myself to do a proposal for them. He literally never saw how much that merchant was saved and was not part of the process in seeing if they really saved money. As far as going through chase paymentech instead of us, paymentech doesnt want to deal with a small business they would much rather deal with independant sales organizations like us and many other companies. It's a lot less work on their end. It's like going to a corn wholesaler and buying one can of corn. Are they going to be the cheapest? no, it will be a place like walmart that orders in the bulk from them. Go ahead, I encourage you to shop around. Go to chase bank get a proposal and then come to us and you'll see that our rates are more competitive. I've never seen a merchant that I couldnt save money.

Alpine Payment Systems is an Independent Sales Organization for both First Data and Chase Paymentech. We have negotiated rate structures which will allow our merchants to secure lower debit and credit card processing rates than they might be able to if they were to approach these companies individually. Aside from debit and credit card processing, we offer a full menu of financial products and services to businesses nationwide. These products and services include gift and loyalty cards, ATM machines, check services, cash advances, and a complete Dine Fraud Free campaign.
We train our sales representatives and our employees to be persistent, persuasive, and to divulge factual information. The financial services industry is extremely competitive, and we pride ourselves on being on the cutting edge of technological advances. We do not make a practice of enticing merchants to enter into contracts which will hinder their business operation. Our goal is to be able to provide a product or service to the merchant that will help them save money, make money, and protect their business.
Within our corporate family, we believe that employees should be given every opportunity to succeed. We offer positions to the community which adapt to all different skill levels, from entry level to experienced. If we find that an employee is not successful in a specific position, we give that employee the chance to find success in another position.
Unfortunately, sales positions arent the right fit for everyone.
