Center For Association Resources A Fraud of a Company Schaumburg, Illinois

The Center for Association Resources is anything but.  They claim to provide services for associations, but have not the tools, staff, or resources to do that.  They have a tiny staff of largely inexperienced "staff" to manage the essential operations of association clients.  Unlike other reputable association management companies, they provide very limited services, despite what they promise to their potential clients.

Staff are given no training on the clients to which they are assigned.  Clients have their "account executive" changed from month to month, mostly because staff either quit in disgust, or are summarily fired for being unable to "get up to speed" in a matter of hours, or days.

The office is in a state of continual turmoil.  The "CEO," Rob Patterson, shows up around 1pm each day, and proceeds to go from office to office, desk to desk, to berate employees.  No one is safe.  He believes that everyone is an idiot, or trying to cheat him.  Never mind that he hires people for minimum wage with little attention to actual experience.

If you are a potential association client, you will be poorly served.  The Center has been fired by every ex-client.  Fired, with cause.

If you are a potential employee, you are in for the worst experience of your life.  Patterson will hound you day and night, by phone or email.  He looks at every incoming email with an eye towards retrobution.

No one should work for, or be hired by, The Center.
