A New Nightmare
----------------------------------------
I too have a nightmare experience to share with everyone regarding my
career with the Pacesetter Corporation spanning almost 2 decades.
The list is so long I won't elaborate on EVERY nightmare, this message
would be longer than Gone With The Wind, but just a few key points
that will inform prospective employees as well as the unfortunate
customers that feel they've been taken advantage of.
As a dedicated and productive employee for so many years I felt that I
would retire from Pacesetter. They always preached "Wrap your arms
around your people" as employers. To be honest, I think that was
just a ploy to see just how far they could stretch the life out of
their employees.
Extreme conditions and pressure, much like the sales pitch, were
present on a minute to minute basis. Their scare tactics and gorilla
management techniques would make a boulder turn to dust. Shattering
self-confidence and intimidating the strongest individuals. I've
seen grown men in tears after staff meetings and people on the verge
of nervous breakdowns when being "held accountable" for things
totally out of their control.
Not to mention the so-called "Sales" that run 21 days straight with no
days off (10 hours/ day plus) for anyone but the GM, a murder in the
parking lot on May 11, 2001 and forced to work in a crime scene all
day long with hundreds of police and media crews everywhere then
pulling up on Sept. 11, 2001, the worst day in history, to a building
surrounded by police due to a bomb scare in the building and expected
to conduct business like nothing ever happened. Kinda makes you
wonder about your safety HUH? That just tells you what these greedy
people are all about. A previous response sums it all up quite
accurately....SLIME!!!!
It might have been fine to do business like this in 1962 but it's not
the dark ages anymore. This company has to realize that it's the new
millenium and are going to have to grow with the times. They claim
they have done so but have yet to display that fact.
This is just an enlightening bit of information that I felt helpful to
future employees and to let the customers know that not only you've
been treated badly, but Pacesetter treats it's most valuable
employees like a baby treats a diaper!!
Like the beginning of the website states, this is not slander. Just
fact. Good luck to all those poor souls that get sucked into the hype
they define as success and realize not too many people retire as
millionaires from Pacesetter.
