They send out advertisements on craigslist about a new office opening, i applied for a front desk position. Makes sense right? NO. You go in there and Michael Adibe, who owns the one in bethlehem, tells you they are affiliated with direct tv. And " there are incredible growth opportunities with this company." But in all reality they pay you 9 dollars an hour to sell direct tv in best buy. This isnt even the part that was a scam. He doesnt pay you. When you start, he tells you "we pay weekly." What this means is that they pay two weeks behind. So on your third week there, you receive your first week's paycheck. After i had quit, a month had past and i did not receive a pay check. Pennsylvania law states the employer MUST mail the check on their given payday, with other regulations with deducting, of course. But i had no deductions, so i contacted him." is there a reason i have not been paid?" He told me " your paycheck is sitting here. You can come pick it up or i will mail it." A week later. No paycheck. Finally, it was enough. I went in. There was STACK of paychecks he was going though in his desk. He has only been there since November!
He started to get nervous and said " it must be in my car..." So down we went to his car for him to pull out another STACK! He found one of my two paychecks and stopped looking. He said " i dont know where it is, i have to issue another." When i went in the next week, i opened the check. I had set up direct deposit. But it takes two weeks to kick in. This just proves he never issued my second check.
This company is beyond shady. He cashes in former employees checks back into his account after 90 days. He is incredibly illegal. Do not work for this company. Trust me.
