If you decide or become that desperate to do work for them I strongly suggest you retain copies of all paperwork & emails provided.. I mean everything.

Take photos of return part tracking labels for proof and to cover yourself, Take photos of your work (the more detailed the better and take as many as possible), Record and log date/time/names of any phone calls or emails that may happen between you and them and make sure you take pictures of the area you worked in if possible at the start and end of your job. Let me explain why... Aside from numerous people also complaining of this, I have seen them try to claim the return part was never received or returned even with tracking that shows otherwise. They will try to claim you either didn't do this or that right or didn't do something at all, One time they claimed I had left the work area in a mess when it was a mess before I got there and did anything (take photos before and after with timestamp of work area).

I had left it in the same condition it was when I had arrived and I am not a housekeeper for them or the client. I won't clean up anything I had no part in creating. They will regularly claim you never called/emailed or spoke to them about a job or that you talked to them. (Example: Calling about the numerous invoices unpaid.) Sometimes you will get a call from a client or project manager begging you to go do work on site because no one else was available, They will tell you one rate then after everything is complete they will say another rate OR they will once again tell you that something was not done correctly when you did every single thing exactly as they requested and to a "T" and have to send another tech out.

Funny how they won't send you back out to address the issue. I stopped doing work for them long ago and so did most of the people I know in the industry because the way they practice doing business. They appear to be taking all of the money for the jobs then not paying the tech or finding reasons (almost always fake or untrue) not to pay them. Because you are a contractor its hard to fight them and unless you want to go dragging them through court at your expense you just end up loosing time, energy, money, Gas and still might loose and be out more money.

I dont recommend doing work for them.. almost everyone I know regrets the work they did do.

Seriously hope they stop messing with the techs because eventually they are going to run out of willing techs to do anything for them and loose clients because they have no one willing to perform work in the area. Barrister needs to relook at how they are doing business.

Reason of review: The worst company ever / Best scam artists ever.

Monetary Loss: $1200.

Preferred solution: Start paying the techs and stop cheating them out of money. Taking our hard earned money..

Paying technicians promptly and correctly is a priority for our company. Payments are generally prepared approximately 21 days following the receipt of all documentation and information from technician closing the call.

Technicians must call from site to close calls, return parts correctly and fax or scan the signed receipt for service. Once those simple steps are followed, payment is made to technicians. Barrister maintains an email address, payissues@barrister.com, which is monitored and answered daily.

If a tech has a problem with payment, of any kind, he should email this address stating the work order number in question and a brief description of his issue. He will receive an answer within 5 business days.
