I was an employee of Associated Pawn and Mr. Steven Cassidy (Owner) m for almost 18 months. When I was first hired Mr. Cassidy had just been sentenced to jail for Grand Theft relating to his business. I am an ex-police officer. I was hired by the General Manager, to help clean-up the business. It took approx. 12 months to fire and Manager or the Edgewood store and get the store back to doing an honest business. We hired a new Store Manager and committed ourselves to providing good customer relations.By doing this we were able to not have a single complaint filed with the Ha.Co Sheriffs Dept. And did everything in our power to regain their trust and cooperation. While in dentention Mr. Cassidy began negotiating with the General Manager for the sale of the business and lead him and all the employees to believe he would soon be completely out of the picture. Upon Mr. Cassidy's release 2 months ago, it became clear he was playing all of us for fools. He began coming into the store, going through the computer records and forfeiting pawned property of good customers, we had extended extra time to, in order fot them to pay for their goods. He was then removing that property from the store and converting it to his own use, leaving us to explain to good customers why their pawns had been revoked and were not available for them to repurchase, even if they had the money. This went on for approx. 6 weeks. Then on 6-15-08 Mr. Cassidy called a early morning company meeting and promptly discharged all employees, with no explanation. This man is a convicted felon, ex-convict on parole and just a plain thief. He will take whatever he can from whomever he can, without remorse and should not be allowed to remain a free man.
