Mike Palazzo is an incompentent a*hole / con artist who NEVER pays on time and NEVER pays you the for the hours you've worked. I've been working at Cardio Club for about 6mths. And the first 4 mths. I was paid under the table!!! I asked repeatedly for a time card (that I have yet to receive) so that there would be records of my employment and so I can file for taxes at the end of the year.
During my time of employment here at Cardio Club I have never once been paid the right amount of money for the hours I've worked. Once I told him he shorted my check. It took him almost 2 weeks to pay me!!! I went almost to weeks without a paycheck! Not only is he negligent when it comes to paying his devout employees but, this disgusting characteristic bleeds into his other matters of business! I constantly recieve calls stating that a check he has written has bounce, He has a past due balances ect. Even the towel guy complains to me about how he is never paid on time and when he is paid his check bounces!!!
A female manager here at Cardio Club quit because Mike Palazzo refused to pay her for 1 whole month along with one other employee and myself. When she confronted him about the situation he FIRED her!!! He told her she shouldn't question him on what he pays! What a dink! Then about 3 days later he rehired her and wrote her a check. Needless to say the check bounced! The manager was furious and and asked for another check with the fees for the bank included. He did so and the check bounced again!!! Now she said her creditiblity with her bank is nonexistent. Then she quit with no money. Sad sad story.
The cleaning lady we had was also paid under the table and she was uncomfortable with the situation also. He never paid her the right amount of money either! One time she worked 75 hrs. And he only paid her for 35hrs. How rude and inconsiderate is that. This lady has kids and futhermore she is contributing to your business success and you don't have the common decency to pay her. Lucky she received a massive promotion with another company and the money Mike Palazzo refused to pay her looked like chump change. The cleaning lady we have now is paid under the table too. This goes on and on.
There were so "visitors" that can into the gym about 2 days ago and I over heard them say Mike Palazzo is an a*hole and this should scare him up! They then started taking picture of the gym and all the equipment. When one of my co workers asked what were they doing. They said they worked for a lender and this is a personal matter between Mike and the lender. One of the ladies started laughing as they were leaving and said again this should scare him up. With my observation I figured that they were another vitim of Mike Palazzo con artist tendencies! SO sad!
I hope people take heed to this and refrain form employement or business with him. He is a bad person and shows no remorse for the pain and inconveinence he causes you.
