I was a pool designer and salesman for Gold Medal Pools. I was cheated out of approximately $3,600.00 dollars of commissions of pool and spa projects that I sold. This is money that I worked hard to make and deserve. The non-payment of these moneys has financially hurt myself and my family.
I was told by Josh Sandler that I had not quoted the projects correctly. This is not only a lie, but the pricing was always checked by Josh Sandler either before I presented the price to the customer, or during the negotiating session. I only worked at Gold Medal Pools for about 3 months and was still considered a new employee and wasn't yet trusted to present proposals without Josh Sandler or the other salesman "checking my numbers". All final prices of projects were also always negotiated in order to "land the deal" by Josh Sandler. (He being the only authorized person to manipulate the pricing program in order to give such discounts etc.)
Furthermore, a commision sheet for each project was filled out which showed what my commission for that job is. (Commisions were to be paid during the actual construction of the project) These commission sheets were signed by Josh Sandler, Mark Delinger of accounts payable/receiveable, and myself.
Steve Sandler, whom actually ownes the company has a very respected name in the pool construction industry. It's very apparent he and his son Josh, are dishonest, unfair people who are severely lacking in integrity. They should pay the agreed upon commissions for services provided by myself that benifited their company.

#3 REBUTTAL Owner of company
Gold Medal Pools, Reputable Company False Reports Filed
AUTHOR: JS - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, October 20, 2009
This report is also TOTALLY FALSE. Gold Medal Pools has never had an employee by the name of Dan.
Steve Sandler and Gold Medal Pools have worked hard to build their name and reputation over the past 40 years. We have never lost our focus on providing the BEST customer service, dealing with employees and clients in an UP FRONT, HONEST manner, and most importantly addressing any questions or concerns that may arise.
Although the internet can be a powerful tool for business, the internet can also be used by individuals to create false user names and post false statements that can misrepresent an individual or organization, in a sabotaging effort to damage them and extort money. We are dealing with one of those individuals right now.
If anyone has a question based on these alleged statements or a true concern, I encourage you to contact me directly and we will address any and all questions as we always havehead onup front. THE COMMENTS POSTED ON THESE SITES ARE FALSE.
The fact that these forum sites are willing to post any and all information, with no basis of truth or fact poses a challenge for all businesses, but it will not deter us from our goalto treat our employees and clients with RESPECT, and COURTESY, provide the BEST customer service, and build you and your family the BEST swimming pool and outdoor environment!
We will not allow an unethical individual and forums sites to deter us from our path; we ask you do the same. Once again, if you should have any questions regarding these FALSE and BOGUS CLAIMS, or a legitimate concern, please contact Josh or Steve Sandler directly and we will show you the professionalism, courtesy, and respect that we have expressed to our clients over the past 40 Years.

#2 UPDATE EX-employee responds
SALESMAN BULLIED INTO RETRACTION OF REPORT
AUTHOR: Dan - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, October 18, 2009
I am an ex employee of Gold Medal and despite Charles retraction of his comments I can tell you they are true. Charles was threatened with a lawsuit by the Sandlers and not being in a financial position to to defend himself he was bullied into changing his story, they knew this and took advantage of it.
Steve Sandler has a long reputation of being a rowdy bully who has screwed over a number of his former employees, its just the way he does business and his son Josh is a miniture version of him, their web site proclaims him (Josh) to be this collage educated man at the helm but the truth be known is that Josh was denied access to law school because of a poor grade point average and so was left with no other job but to work in the pool industry. Having been on the internal side of this company I can tell you that they do not care what they have to say or do to get the sale. I would not let a friend work for them.
