I received an out-of-state call from a panicked Kerrie Boggs, asking that we perform janitorial services at a client here in South Carolina. She was easily available throughout the course of the project, but would not return phone calls once payment time came around. $140 may seem like a small sum, but if it is, why not simply pay up? We are not a non-profit organization!
To make matters worse, company personnel often cover for her. If I call the New York office, I'm told she's at the Ohio office; if I call the Ohio office, she's at the New York office. I've called the same cell phone number I was given - and was met with voice mail every time.
On one occasion I was transferred to the comptroller and left a voice mail... Which was also never returned. When I pretended to be someone else, I finally got Kerrie on the line only to be told that the check is printed and sitting on "[the comptroller's] desk, waiting to be signed". Surely, it doesn't take this long to sign a check... SMH
I called back today and learned that the comptroller was fired on the same day I left the voice mail for him to return my call. Surprisingly, I still can't get Kerrie on the phone... And she still won't return voice mails.
I can't imagine how one might believe that poor business acumen will lead to success.
If you're a business, looking to contract with 1stop, DON'T. If you're a contractor, looking to sub-contract through 1stop, make them pay you upfront!
