KB Promotions Payroll dept. Veronica, Receptionist Amanda The atmosphere in the workplace were horrid. They played music so loudly that hearing the customers on the phone was almost impossible. The so called managers were crude and cursed at people in front Tampa, Florida

Working for KB Promotions was a nightmare. The employees are treated like bad children and scolded in front of everyone. In a meeting I attended we were all told that "*UCK YOU, PAY ME!" was the company motto. They also said they were paying me $9.00 per hour but dropped that to $7.25 when payday came around. I was let go for no apparent reason, after a good review. Later I found out it was because I was seen talking to a female employee that the manager was interested in personally. When I did my taxes I found that they claimed to have paid me $121 more than they did. When I tried to collect my last paycheck the receptionist, Amanda,told me it was too late and that a new check would have to be printed and asked me to call back in a couple of days. When I called back Amanda said that the owners had to come in and sign the check and that I should call back next week. When I called back Amanda said that I needed to speak to Veronica in payroll. I was put on hold and disconnected. I tried to call back only to be told that Veronica wasn't in and to call back tomorrow. When I spoke with Veronica the following day she assured me that the check would be reprinted and signed as soon as the owners came in and that should be soon. She asked me to call back the following week and apologized for the wait. I called again and Amanda told me that she was sorry but that the owners had come in and the check was reprinted but that it was misplaced. She said to call back the following week and speak to Veronica. This has gone on for almost 5 months. I just spoke with Veronica today and she gave me the same excuse about the owners living in Boca Raton, FL and that they would pay me when they got around to it. When I became frustrated and told her that I was considering getting an atty. She said "Yeah right, and pay more for an atty. than the check is worth? Go ahead. We have a stack of checks here for people with the same problem you have." I asked for her supervisors name and was she said " there is no one higher than me to speak with." I asked for the owners names and numbers and she refused to give them to me. I have searched and can not find that information anywhere but I did find plenty of information on complaints from other people like me. I filed a complaint with The Better Business Bureau and found they have an F rating, are not accredited with the bbb and have no other contact or license information listed with them. Needless to say I feel helpless and angry that I have been treated this way. It has been almost 5 months and I still haven't been paid the money owed to me. These people are dishonest and unprofessional to say the least. Do not work for or buy anything from them unless you are prepared to hire an atty. to fight for you when they do not come through.
