Not meeting a confirmed Hiring Appointment

3 Feb

Human Resources DepartmentK-Mart1647 Gordon HighwyAugusta, Ge US I applied via computer for a Loss and Recovery Associate at the above address and was scheduled for a 3:00 P.M. interview with the Human Resources Dept.on October 22nd, however, after sitting my day aside for this appointment and travelling 30 miles one way to meet this appointment, I was not seen. Why?I arrived 15 minutes early and waited to the appropriate time, entered the office area, and looked for Human Resources office, found it, knock on closed door with no response. After standing around reading all the memo's, fire evacuation routes, etc.on the bulletin boards, a gentleman entered the area nodding his head acknowledging my presence, unlocked a door and disappeared. Five minutes later walked back out and which time I asked him, if the Human Resources person was present, that I had a 3:00 P.M. interview? He stated the Human Resources person is on vacation all week, go up front of the store and tell them and sign a book, they will call you later. I was shocked, thinking with the high technology available, telephones, e-mail's, or someone taking that extra step could not call me and cancel my interview and explain what happen. Yes, a emergency came up, but vacation, I was not impressed one bit and very disappointment in the fact that no one approached me and challenging me in the office area, and can only assume that this store is managed by very poor management or no management. I'am a retired military person, 20 years in the USAF, Law Enforcement and Security career field,a Law Enforcement Officer, 18 years with Wackenhut Security Services, contract with CIA and worked on a security proposal for NASA at all sites, been self employed the past 7 years as a security consultant with Department of Energy, and always worked with professional people. I and my spouse worked at K-Mart a few years back and what a change in attitude of employees, the handling of possible future employees, the overall appearance of the store, etc. I'am seriously now cnsidering, do I really want to work for a unprofessional company, that I just observed and waste their time, and mine?Certainly, hope you straighten out this store ASAP or expect closure soon, if not already on the closure list. Have a great year!Ron M. Deaver

Time Warner -Horrible Customer Service

3 Feb

Time Warner CableNew York, Ne 10022USwww.twcnyc.com Time Warner Cable takes advantage of the fact that they basically have a monopoly in NYC and they provide a horrible customer service. I had an appointment to have cable installed and they never showed up, when I called they told me that I had called to change the appointment but I NEVER CALLED. They hanged up on me, put me on hold for over half an hour to speak to a Supervisor. At the end, they said that since it was on their record that I had called, they could not do anything. This implies that their systems are bad or someone is changing the appointments without specific authorization which means that they are breaching privacy and confidentiality agreements. I cancelled the service all together, for the time being, I rather not have cable than give my money to Time Warner.

yamaha’s poor service

3 Feb

yamaha grizzly 660 atvyamaha motor corp.US I purchased a new yamaha atv in the fall of 2006. It has since lived at dealerships for repairs. The front driveshaft had play causing a vibration within the first 200 miles on the atv, the dealership replaced the front driveshaft yet the vibration returned and the rear drive shaft snapped while I was riding in the woods. The damage was extensive, broken driveshaft,shifted differential,and twisted frame. Yamaha found that the frame had a piece missing from the frame causing the geometry to be off putting stress on the driveline and causing my breakdown. It took almost 3 months to get my atv back, I nearly missed the entire summer season because of the repairs required. When I picked up he atv I shared concerns with the service manager about the popping from the rear differential. I was told I had worn bushings causing the noise. I got 4 rides before the rear diff. failed and it has now been back in the shop for over a month with no estimate on when it will be ready. The wiring harness also had to be replaced because it was routed wrong from the factory causing it to overheat damaging the wires and burning up the stator on my charging system, that was 2 weeks in the shop. the cv boots came off on the rear axles, that was 2 weeks in the shop. I have no doubt that the atv I purchased was a lemon and yamaha customer service has done little to nothing to help me. I was told that they would fix each problem. In the meantime I have been making $173.00 monthly payments on a atv that I cannot even ride. I expected more out of Yamaha after puchasing a $7200.00 machine, yet they have made it very clear that they have no intention on replacing my machine and I am very disapointed in the quality of my atv and the lack of service and support from yamaha motor corp.

Sattelite TVDirect TVUS Never buy direct TV. They do NOT offer internet. To get you to subscribe with them, they will tell you they have a deal with other internet service providers (I was told AT&T). I was told if I got internet throught AT&T I would get a discount on my Direct TV bill. After getting expensive internet they refused to give me a discount. And I have spent 20 hours on the phone trying to get it resolved.

Poor Service

3 Feb

1st for WomenInsurance, ZA on the 30th of August 2008, criminals broke into my house and stole my plasma and speakers. i immediately notify my insurance about the incidence. they asked me for proof of goods, i told Sithee Naidoo that my plasma was a gift from my ex-boyfriend and i dont have the slip for it and the speakers i bought them about 4 years ago. Sithee told me she is not going to pay for the plasma but would replace the speakers, i was not happy with the situation and told her that why is she not paying for the plasma because i didnt submit slips for both goods. she told me that she will refer the matter to her manager. her manager told me that there was a black lady who tried to fraud the company as well in couple of days back. i asked her if she meants that because i am black i am frauding the company? she couldnt answer me... i told her that i am not happy with her answer and would like my attorney to handle the matter. Sithee went ahead and replaced my speakers. i asked Sithee for the letter stating that the company is not replacing my plasma, till today i still havent received the letter from the company. i have sent Sithee Naidoo several emails but with no responce, last time i spoke to her she adviced that admin department will send me the letter not her.

Bad Management – Movie Gallery Store #0627

3 Feb

ManagementMovie Gallery Store #0627Merchant's CrossingEnglewood, Fl 34223USwww.moviegallery.com I am a manager and business owner, and I am writing this complaint as such. I feel strongly compelled to lodge a complaint regarding the local Movie Gallery's treatment of it's longer-term clerk employees.I have known many employees at this location over the last few years, and was a customer for many years prior. Quite clearly, the movie gallery store in Englewood FL is not busy anymore, as it used to be, having regularly visited this location for 4 years now. One apparent reason is that the new manager is clearly not a "people person," as I have already witnessed personally a general attitude of laziness and condescending, disgruntled consideration towards both employees and customers. These observations are my professional opinion, and also represent the similar opinions of friends and acquaintances (and many other customers I am sure) who frequent this location.Two longer term (perhaps 2 years) employees, both female, at this Englewood, FL location are being treated very unfairly by this newer manager, despite being the most competent at their work. These employees understand how to use the tools movie gallery gives them to generate higher numbers for their store. The newer manager is not only deterring regular customers such as myself, but preventing her own employees from using customer-retaining tools by implementing unwarranted restriction measures that serve no obvious purpose, and which must obviously be hurting revenue from the long term customers. These two employees, though soft-spoken, both observably have management (or management-level) experience in retail. They are extremely people-friendly, expedient, logical, very good with customers and obviously good with generating revenue when given the right tools. They are the sort of employees who directly procreate a solid returning customer base.The previous manager, who recently quit (this summer, I believe), is a hard working person. In witnessing the energetic attitude towards her work, it is easy to see that she most likely elicited much more positive results from the store. I would be honored to employ such productive individuals myself, and Movie Gallery is very unfortunate to have lost such a competent and productive individual. I do know that her employees thought very highly of her as a manager, and the atmosphere of the store was much more pleasant, friendly, and customer-oriented. Now the store has an indifferent and often negative atmosphere, from the new manager and some new employees. I must note that the contrast between the old and new manager is immense- and this likely brings a problem of morale and motivation for employees affected by the change.Having personally worked retail and seen firsthand the outrageous unfairness that often occurs, I feel obliged to speak when normally I would not. I am an advocate of fairness in the workplace and am deeply chagrined when I see this sort of behavior anywhere. These employees are good hard working people who, in my opinion, are being stepped on, having their hours cut (and being replaced by less competent people), their morale negated, and denied their ability to generate revenue for the store. I do not understand this manner of behavior, which is decidedly anti-employee, and hurts your company.I am lodging this complaint in a public forum because people must be aware which companies permit the mistreatment of good employees. I have lost so much personally when in the past due to favoritism and incompetent managers. For me, it is very angering to see it occurring anywhere.This is a very serious complaint from a person who deals with customers for a living. I expect it to be taken seriously and respectfully.

Unresponsive Baby Bungalow

3 Feb

Co-sleeping cribThe Baby Bungalowunknownunknown, un unknownUSbabybungalow.com First of all, they never answer their phone, so it is almost impossible to talk to someone in person. All you can do is send them an email, and they choose whether to call or email you back. There was a confusion about delivery, and they said they would contact the shipper, and then obviously never did, as the item did not get delivered. They had to ship it out again a week later.Next, they don't seem to know what is in their inventory, and sent a crib with the wrong finish even though a special point was made in the ordering process of the finish requested. And they refused to make any effort to resolve the issue other than "return it" when the baby was already born and needed a crib! Altogether, an unresponsive and frustrating company to deal with.
