"Deep Throat"
----------------------------------------
I was an employee of the Pacesetter Corp, and imagine my face when a
friend emailed me this website info....I can confirm that all the
allegations I have read on this site seem to be true from my
experience. The unfortunate thing is that these stories are few to the
countless others that are out there. I would like to touch on a few of
the subjects that to this day still upset me.
What I saw was a company that preyed on the elderly, uneducated and
poor. It was unbeleiveable to me some of the houses that their
overpriced merchandise was put on. Most customers I spoke with had no
idea that a mortgage or lien was placed on their property, the
salesman must have had a way to have customers sign papers by
disguising what they were signing.
The "policy" was to contact customers between 5-10 days past due to
make initial payment arrangements, I believe this is undeard of in a
"normal" business environment. The service complaints were constant,
the local branches were notified and seldom responded to the
complaints.
The employees were not treated much better than the customers, when I
finally left Pacesetter I was amazed at the way most businesses
operate (respectful to customers and employees on an ongoing basis).
If anyone has any direct questions regarding the company I would not
mind answering them, believe me I have heard and seen it all. I will
end this stating I am ashamed at my lack of integrity for working at
Pacesetter as long as I did.
