#1 UPDATE Employee

Joke scams

AUTHOR: Pbpjoke - (United States of America)

You know you are full of it. PBP is a joke, and you know it. They pay their employees minimum wage and hire drug addicts to scam people. I currently work there cause I need the money but currently looking for another job. I work in the Bensalem/ Philly office and it is a joke. They just fired the best manager we had, Dave. They kept two people who are sexually harassing people, Annie clymire and brad Davidson. Annie is a manger who sleeps with the males in the office and tells them to fake sales. Annie has cheated on her husband multiple times and is a lying slut.

I feel bad for any company who deals with pbp. They don't care about the customer or employee. There are no quality measurements In place. They listen to sales once a week, if that. They are a joke of a company and should be shut down.

#2 UPDATE EX-employee responds

gotta see it from our side

AUTHOR: spork9128 - (United States of America)

i worked at said company for almost three months, and you gotta understand, they take pretty much anyone willing to work, which means there are plenty of ignorant people who get hired,
we dealt with many a person who would be outright rude to us for no reason

and its a cold call center that is scripted,

they call with a name on a lead and what they do(sometimes not even that)

there is no call back number, it is a cold call center, with only dial out devices (seriously, the computers run on MS-DOS, yet there is a customer service number

1800-200-5000 i believe

no you cannot keep them from calling you by saying "take us off your list" your a business, your number is public property i the chamber of commerce, and the only way to get your number privatized from the chamber of commerce, is to run an unregistered illegal business, or close down/ go bankrupt


i am truly sorry to all of the businesses who have been burned/rude too, or just plain confused.

but they are doing a job, a job that can pay very well, if they get the company your money, or very badly, if they dont


please understand,
