I was working with them and now they will let me work with them again
I was working with Barrister in the past several years on and off. Under the BAS32299 id They deactivated me and did not tell me why or how I could correct it. I asked and it deactivated by the vi of the company. I have asked for a call back o I could talk with him to the matter resolved. So in the past few months I took a project job not with barrister and when it ended I asked tech support if I could come back and work with them. So they proceeded to send me the starter pack and the next thing I was receiving calls and doing them for 2 days and I called in and asked why am I not get any more calls and they told me to call customer service which I did and they told me it was deactivated by the VP of the company. How does not return calls.
The tech support hold times are terrible trying to get a hold of a tech and also customers serve as well.
I do have experience in fixing things but in the past it was their tech support that caused me problems and made me run later to a 3rd call and this not knowing how to correct things is upsetting and a lot of the clients like the work that I do and I have gotten good reviews in the past. It seems that barrister accepts no responsibility for anything dealing with Contractors and they are bad at communication and they will deactivate you with out telling you. They will just cancel calls and your contact with go quiet. I have enjoyed working with them and I have done a great job over all I did have a bumps on the way but those are all corrected and would like to be given another chance to work with them.
Non payment for completed assignments
I have been associated with Barrister Global Services since 2005 when I had a retail/service company located in Northern Arizona. Most of my assignments with the consisted of State Farm Insurance calls. I was normally paid an hourly rate and was always paid on time. Medical issues in 2012 (lost my leg due to an uncontrolled infection) required me to...

Im going through a background check for perm employment and Barrister Global will not verify that I was employed with them! They said to the background check person that they do not do that! What the heck? Why wouldnt you do that? I cant even call and get ahold of Barrister Global. These guys must be running this business from their basement somewhere. STAY FAR AWAY FROM Barrister Global!

barrister continues to grow!
We have been around for 35 years and we continue to grow. As with any growing company we are learning better ways to do things and gaining more and more knowledge. As any human, we all learn from our mistakes. Barrister is a company that is run by humans. No single company is the epitome of perfection. We do strive for excellence and satisfaction to our customers. This is the reason we have a SOP. We have over 13, 000 qualified technicians nationwide who we send to our customers to represent our company. We entrust them with our name to perform the best work possible. We have many devoted, well organized technicians who are responsible and do the job correctly and represent the company to the utmost standards. Then there are a tiny amount who do not; who resort to a complaint forum to do business; who do not get their issues resolved by working with our dedicated team of employees and only mislead others. As with any growing company run by human beings, errors do occur and we strive to resolve them in a timely manner. Everything is agreed upon in the call for the work order. If you as a tech do not agree to the terms or believe yourself to be capable of the scope of work, you are not being forced to take the job and can say no, resolving any unforeseen circumstances where you could make a mistake which costs the company and possibly yourself.
barrister non payment
Barrister global services is the worst companies I have ever worked for. At first they were decent. Although their work orders were underpaid, at least they paid on time. About 6 months ago, barrister stopped paying me on time. At first it was a couple of days late, then it started creeping into a couple of weeks. Barrister has something they called speed pay which means you would get your payments for each work order within 14 days of completion and verification of the rfs (receipt for service). They typically charged 13 percent for this service. I always selected this service and they stopped paying within the two weeks and still charged me for it. At some point, I got frustrated dealing with their accounting department because I wasn't getting paid on time. So I found their ceo, debbie bowers email address and cc'ed her in the emails I sent to their accounting department (payissues). This was when the persecution started. All of a sudden they started claiming that work orders I had completed two months prior with all the necessary paperwork were missing parts. Before you get paid for any ticket, they typically verify that the parts have been delivered and they pay you. They claimed that they did not receive parts. Luckily for me, I documented all my trips and didn't misplace anything even after I got paid for it. After, I was able to prove them wrong by presenting all the receipts for shipment and they couldn't back their claim up, they decided to let that go. Somehow, they would like to say this was coincidental but they day after I proved them wrong, they dug up another ticket that I had done from about a month ago and said it was missing parts. I explained to them that the parts were in their possession and that they couldn't charge me for it. The technical support representative that assisted me with the call asked I ship everything back. I shipped everything back to them and the technical support representative left barrister shortly after that. Becca edwards (who usually does all the dirty work) pretty much insisted that she was going to charge me for the parts that were in their possession which they verified. I asked her to verify with the tech support rep that worked with me on the ticket, she refused to hear me out. She said they were charging me $260 which coincidentally was the amount for a 6 trip ticket to city of frasier, mi.. So essentially, I was not paid for that ticket. Fast forward that a couple of weeks later, there was another call I took.. At this point, barrister was behind schedule paying me for about 9 tickets. After looking at my schedule and thinking I might not get paid for this call, I figured it would be a tight fit and I called to turn the call down and notify which is 3 hours prior to service time according to barrister standard operating procedures. I did and as usual becca edwards had a problem with it. She said I could not turn the call down without a good reason and that she was going to charge me $100 for not showing. I have turned lots of calls down and I have never heard of having a good reason. She emailed me a copy of the standard operating procedures and of course it said when you turn a call down, you should give adequate notification prior to the service time and there was nothing about giving a good reason. I pointed it out to her and then she basically said if you do not accept my judgement and accept the $100 charge, I will dismiss you from barrister. I told her I would not accept it and she dismissed me. This was all fine and dandy but at that point, it was like pulling teeth to get paid the 9 tickets that barrister owed me. This was about two months ago. Eventually they paid 7 out of the 9 tickets, they said they were not paying 1 and then the last ticket which was a two trip ticket to sms millcraft, they have been full of excuses. At first they said, the ticket was missing parts.. I said yes indeed, I dont have shipping labels to return the parts which their cores department usually sends out. After trying to contact their shipping department for three weeks to send me out labels to send me labels to send the parts back to no avail, I sent the parts back myself. This was about three weeks ago. I then emailed payissues (their accounting department), their cores department and the ceo (debbie bowers) copies of the shipping receipt and confirmation of delivery. Three weeks ago.. They responded that they cant void out the parts for payment, thats the cores departments job and the cores department refuses to respond. I dont understand how the accounting department and ceo cant come up with a way to pay me for my trip to sms millcraft. If the cores department isnt doing their job, shouldn't the ceo step up and get them to pay? I called the crs on the work order (amanda holton) who was very nice but could not do anything to help me. At this point, they have stopped responding to me. They are leaving me no option than to contact hp, sms millcraft and city of fraser directly since they wont pay me.

Barrister are pushy and I wont work for them at all they still owe me $1100, 00 for over 2 years now I have not seen one Dime of that money .So the so called reply back for them above is a lie . They care less about there tech.

Class action lawsuit
Barrister representatives speak with every technician who is assigned a job. The rate is offered verbally. Once the technician accepts the rate, the technician is emailed dispatch paperwork where the rate is clearly specified. That paperwork including the rate serves as the agreement between Barrister and the technician. Technicians are urged to review the paperwork prior to performing the service and to immediately contact our dispatch team upon receipt of paperwork if there are any questions, concerns or if the rate is not clearly stated or different from what the technician agreed upon. Once the tech has accepted the rate, and performed the work, Barrister is unable to adjust the rate as we have dispatched the work to the tech at a rate at which we may bill our customer.
Barrister Global Services Network, Inc.
It is unreal to me that such a "reputable" company has such poor customer service and employee appreciation. How can you expect to continue to grow in such a competitive market, when your employees are not receiving any personal responses or financial compensation. What is this? Why is the communication only by fax and at best is still one-sided. Responses are infrequent and yields no resolution. I have been calling the [protected] number for several days to no avail. I tried as a customer and was on hold for 15 minutes and even as a technician and was on hold 15 minutes plus and finally was cut off. I have tried to reach John S. Bowers III, the CEO of Barrister as well as Debra D. Bowers, President and COO of Barrister. Where is their Executive Assistant? No one answers their phones. Apparently their numbers are kept "secret". How do you run a business this way? Do they even know what's going on in their organization? Something is missing and it starts at the top! Technicians my advice to you is to file a lawsuit.That's probably the only way you can get managements attention. Good luck!
Barrister pays our techs. The requirements for payment are laid out for you at the time you join our network and again each time you committ to a service event. 1. Your W-9 must be on file. 2. Parts must be returned to the appropriate shipping company within 5 business days. 3. Your completed and customer signed Reciept for Service must be turned in within 5 business days. 4. The quality of work must be satisfactory to the client and to Barrister. If you are not able to do 1-4, do not accept the service event. If you do 1-4, you will be paid. Any issue with payment will be addressed within 3 business days after you email payissues@barrister.com. We stand by our requirements as fair and legal.
I think the techs who havent been paid should team up and file a lawsuit.. if we find a good lawyer i think they will loose and have techs paid for al the work they did for them and never compensated. HP i have contacted them and still no answer on it since they dont control what Barrister does..It might be expensive for the lawer but its worth a shot. Im not sure what kinda business theyre running but the issues
-Late payments on the 30day and 13% speed pay
-No RFS no pay
-Refusing to pay calls without a valid reason
-When they release you they dont pay the remaining completed calls
One thing i would suggest is using emails but if you call them record all phone calls
incompetence, rudeness
This "company" is run by a bunch of chimps. I was offered a job, which never materialized.
I started receiving emails for available service calls in my area (and way beyond). They were all $45 or so to drive 40 mins to an hour to replace a printer part. My take after taxes would cover little more than gas (cargo van).
I never accepted any of these calls.
I unsubscribed from service calls by emailing them, and on the phone through the Profiles Dept. three times, but I still get 7-8 spam emails from these clowns daily. (Gmail wont let me block, besides, they email me from at least 15 different Customer Svc Rep email accounts, with more added every few days.)
I called repeatedly to try to get someone to do something other than promise me the spam would stop, and encountered some mentally challenged "woman" named Vanessa, who tried to insult me by saying, "You want to unsubscribe because you don't know how to do anything."
Actually, I'm smart enough to see a garbage-can of a company when I see one.

staff@BGSN: you are obviously prepared to combat the negative feedback by copying and pasting the same thing over and over. most times, it doesnt have anything to do with the complaint. You know the company has an issue. instead of trying to sweep it under the rug, ; fix it.

fraud, refuse to pay
Refuse to Pay, Completed Several WO Successfully, Makes all Kinds of Excuses not to Pay, Beware do not perform any work for them!
Dump and stupid associate at their Albania call center, they earn $2 per hour.
I have been "associated" with barrister for 2 years and have not been paid on time once. they have "speed pay" which states a 7 day direct deposit. for speed pay they deduct 13 percent of your earnings. don't expect 7 days, more like 60 with threatening e-mails and excuses like "we need an updated w-9 submitted before payment". the company is very comparmentalized and you will never get a payroll person on the phone due to the payissues@barrister.com - which states a 48hr turnaround. I have never gotten a response in the last 30 days from 4 e-mails.in closing, if you have more money than brains - this co. is for you.
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.
Don't listen to the lies this company is telling you because they don't respond within five business days nor do they have any intention on paying technicians on certain jobs. I worked for barrister for nearly four years and have had problems getting paid almost every single one of my tickets over the last year. Their system is so dysfunctional that is hard to determine within their system if an invoice has actually been paid or not and when a dispute happens and they go back and pay you for the work it doesn't show up under that ticket which means I believe they are skimming the books or some sort of other method to charge clients for the work that they are refusing to pay but then have no choice to pay if they want to keep the technician working for them. I am personally still awaiting nearly $1000 for work completed and not paid that was done nearly five months ago. I have created multiple disputes many emails back and forth including to the president and vice president of the company, the Bowers. These two individuals just keep asking accounts payable to look into the situation but accounts payable ignores them and still I'm waiting to be paid. I'm considering filing a small claims lawsuit, which will probably cost me as much as they owe me. I still feel like doing it just to make a statement that they can't continue to rob technicians for money that they earned. I feel that this company used to be a place of integrity but somehow money has become their God. Eventually it will all catch up with them and they will have to pay everything they owe and much much more may even cost them their company if they don't straighten their act up and do right by the technicians they have supported their company and done all the work and who deserve to be paid according to their contractual agreement.
On a professional level of i.t. that still doesn't answer the question as to why they refused to pay mpgenaw1985 here?!
Yes they manages thousands of techs
Yes they manages thousands of accounts
But that doesn't mean that they should stall any honest tech doing their work from getting paid! if they have to verify that the work was completed and the issue was resolved there should be no delay after verifying that along with ensuring that the customer was satisfied in order to pay the technician. working unsupervised in i.t. doesn't mean you should be delayed in getting paid for what you do. the problem comes from payroll or up top if there is any delay in receiving a paycheck (example: pomeroy i.t. solutions)
If you don't expect barrister to babysit you... then don't expect to get paid on time. following-up and communication in i.t. is of the utmost importance... why would any nationwide services company neglect to do any of that with any of their employees?
There are a couple of facts to consider:
1. I am a barrister technician.
2. barrister manages hundreds if not thousands of technicians nationwide.
3. barrister manages private & government accounts nationwide.
4. barrister welcomes new accounts everyday.
5. barrister welcomes new technicians everyday.
6. there are thousands of phone calls and emails that require complete follow-up for the call center everyday.
I have done work on the field along with my fellow technicians. to tell the very truth, most computer geek wannabe are very clumsy and most of the time you do not know what you are doing. barrister pissed me off a couple of times. but is it their fault? no! it is their way of operating a business and there is a reason behind everything.
I am not a big fan of you technicians out there trying to trash barrister. yes they might not be able to babysit you like a local business would. yes you go to work for mcdonald's and you get paid every week for doing things that other people want to do. working for barrister is a privilege. you're working unsupervised, therefore, be wise and do it right. comply with their rules and get paid.
Base on the workload at barrister. do you expect barrister to babysit you? no! working on the field unsupervised, barrister has to verify if the work is done - using different methods - before a technician is paid for that job. if you need assistance to learn the rule, just contact them and they'll work with you! good luck.
Same thing I was wondering...what and why?
What exactly did you do for them?...and what excuses are they giving you to where they don't want to pay?...

I would like to gather together a group of people (50 or more) who have been wrong by Barrister and go after them via the BBB. With that many people there could be a class action suit and we could be repayed for the damages done. If you have had problems with Barrister and would like to be a part of this please respond here with your email or email me at Jodi L Jester @ yahoo.com

2015 same complaints, pay issues, send me a check instead of direct deposit, the check was short due to contract breach. No one to talk to, to find out what the contract breach was, come to find out it was there mistake and took over 2 months to get cleared up. There not very professional on pay at all, and they do not pay techs very well compared to competitors
It appears that Barrister is trying to find out who complains about their lack of ethics. A comment asks toe-mail Jodie L Jester @ yahoo.com. Watch oout technicians it most likely goes to Barrister Mgmt.
I would like to share my experience with Barrister, I'm a field service tech with 10 years experience. I have only done a few calls with them thank goodness...on my first call I helped a customer setup his new PC, wireless printer and 2 Win7 PC's and 2 XP Pc's on a wireless network to share files and printers he had 2 prior Barrister HP techs onsite who could not do this. The job took a few hours longer than expected, I called in as directed 1.5 hrs into the call and spoke to Barrister and HP who gave the go ahead to keep working and he said I would be paid extra for the work. I NEVER WAS! I have called/talked with 3 of their managers not one of them has called/emailed me back after leaving several messages and emails. Be warned fellow Techs this company is Terrible and DO NOT WORK FOR THEM! They also pay Late more than 30days and have accused me of not sending back the parts so they could hold back my pay...however I kept the Fedex reciept which was the only way I had of proving I sent the parts back. DO NOT WORK FOR BARRISTER they are one of the worst tech contractors out there. My advice is STAY AWAY! Any other techs out there who are needing work try another company one that actually pays you what your worth and on time! I also noticed several people actually defending Barrister saying they are a good company and they pay on time that is NON SENSE they are obviously Barrister management...STAY AWAY from working for BARRISTER Global Services...and Good News they just landed another big HP contract LoL
barrister is horrible. i just found out that htye lost their HP contract, they lost the SSA work they were doing. they are losing money hand over fist and this guy John Bowers is lying to all of their custoemrs about their abilities. RUN FROM THIS COMPANY
They r like a company i use to work for call Prism Point. They both have lied to menot paid me . Kept asking for proof that I had complete work. I made copy of the singed work order and they told me sorry we do not take copies but we are to fax them or email them the signed stuff. Also I send part back to them and track the number it shows recv and a sign at the address on the label bt they tell me there is nosuch employee in the comapny by the signed name :-( tey owe me $15000 and I am talking to a lawer and I am talking to the local bbb
The real name of the company is Barrister Global Services Network. i would change your title so that people searching will find this company. they are in the process of losing their HP contract and the company itself is one of the most unproffessional companies i have ever had the displeasure of working for. i was promised different rates, paid a lot less, constantly belittled by people that did not have any idea what they were talking about and the management is terrible. the main people i believe are Gerry, John and Debra.

Read full complaint and 7 commentsnot paying
Warning to all self employed computer repair techs! Please avoid all of these companies such as Prism Point Technologies, Gurus2Go, Captovis Industries, Barrister Global Services Network and all other such companies. They are dispatching techs to complete work orders and not paying us. The business environment is already tough enough without having these no good companies working us for free and and stiffing us on our payments. It is just better to build up you own clients and customers than serving their customers and not getting paid. If you must work as a contractor, then I suggest using Onforce because when a buyer needs services from an independent contractor, he has to pay up front first before the work order is even routed to techs. That is the whole reason Onforce was created; so buyers could stop ripping off techs.

my husband want to work with barrister co... is that safe
I was also ripped off by Barrister on this and other projects. they short paid me for a bunch of small RFSs. Then with the BK project, they went all out and stole over $1000 from me. I paid workers to complete sites, got sign offs, and submitted completion photos. Barrister is refusing to pay and just befuddles the issue by tossing it from rep to rep, asking for signed RFSs that they specifically instructed me not to use. (The RFSs say Barrister and we were to represent The Insite Group while onsite!)
Barrister contracted me at the last minute, ( a thursday afternoon), to do a Burger King project. It was their "Game Changer" promotion. However, Burger King cancelled the following evening. We were already assigned 6 sites and had completed 3 when we got the email not to do anymore sites. Ok, so that was a bummer but at least we were getting paid for those sites, at $140 per site btw. That was March 23. On May 9th I got an email telling me that I wouldn't be paid for the sites due to lack of R.F.S. ( reciept for service).
TOTAL B.S. because I have emails they sent telling me the work order is closed and awaiting payment. These ### will get what they have coming...
If there is anyone out there going through the same thing, email me and lets see what we can't do. affordablecomputersolutions@ymail.com
i'm thousands of dollars in the hole for all the work I've done with them. they need a class action lawsuit. anyone that wants to join contact me at tristain22@gmail.com
Well said brother! Exactly the same ### is happening to me... Hate these ###ers
Barrister is a scam, pure and simple. After 2 months of work, which includes about 6 residential calls, and 2 project calls. I show $75 in my bank account from these ###s. They owe me a couple thousand. When I realized this, I did some checking and found this site, and there are others with thousands more complaints. Unreal. I got suckered into this by a friend who felt the need to sign me up, but I was free, so I gave it a shot. And now here I am, a good 3 months down the road and $70. If you think this is a job, guess again. It is a scam. It is a laundering operation, slave labor operation, and all of the above. Don't get involved with this company, period. Of course, Im sure you have figured this out already if you are here reading this. Im going to bring the hammer with the BBB, Attorney generals, etc. I have to say, after reading this site, and my own experiences, its just pure hilarity. One of the guys I worked with was living in homeless shelter, and rode the bus to a site, and I was asked by barrister to give this guy a ride for a week to another site, which I declined, as Im not a taxi cab, and no offer of compensation for this was given by anyone.
It is no wonder if he is relying on Barrister for payment. I do web design, server installations, etc, I don't need "help" getting them the RFS to their TechWA website which is broken on purpose as a reason for them to delay payment, or not pay at all. I also emailed RFS forms upwards of 6 times each to their email address in every file format known to mankind, and they would still say they didn't get it. ###. Who the f*** uses .tif? Barrister. They request an out of date format on purpose, Its a scam.
13% deduction in your check for "quick" pay that does not exist? LOL How about a $200 fine for being late to a project site? Dont go over an hour at any site, because its $35 period, not $35 an hr. You uploaded and successfully attached your RFS to TechWA? Oh, we cant see it. You havent been paid what you are owed? No problem, send it to the "pay issues" email. lmao
This ### hole should be out of business for its criminal activities.
Welcome to globalism, and the equalization of the american worker with third world countries.
I AM going to get my money.
I AM going to get my money.
this is the exact reason why there is a 20+ page complaint about barrister already. and, the reason why i dont do work for them anymore.
they are pathetic enough to have a personal blog type of website that is created by someone that works internal. It calls all of the techs, making complaints, liars.

"One, the technician calls in to Barrister while onsite to close the call. The number to call is [protected]"
...and wait on hold UNPAID for at least 30 minutes, but most likely an hour - while the EU sits there and looks at you like you're a ### for sitting on hold with "your" home office for so long.
Add to this, refurbished DOA parts requiring a reinstall of the original part and a return trip to site to "fix" the issue, no return labels, UNPAID travel time and/or mileage, "lost" paperwork...multiple times, and at least 30 days waiting for the whopping $35 you made for 2 hours or more on site...and that is if you get paid at all.
The last time Barrister called me for an HP warranty ticket, I told him I needed at least $90, after all, that is what ServiceLive has been paying me for the SAME HP warranty calls, and he choked. He asked me "How can they be paying that much?" I told him "I don't know, better contract negotiators maybe?" hahaha
It's painfully obvious, this company is a joke, and the joke is on the techs who do the work for them.
But OnForce (OnfArce?) has it's own set of problems. I am doing a little research as I am about to have a fight with OnfArce over getting paid for work completed this week. There are scam artists on OnfArce that abuse that system and OnfArce does little or nothing about it.
I too have been scammed by Barrister, when I reconciled my account I had several non payments from them. They claimed they had not received my paperwork when in fact I had Faxed AND Emailed the paperwork within the alloted time. I have heard from other technicians this is very common with them.
I believe a class action law suit may be in order.
Barrister appreciates our technicians and the work they perform for us. We have three steps technicians have to follow in order to get paid. They are as follows:
One, the technician calls in to Barrister while onsite to close the call. The number to call is [protected]
Two, upon completing service, login to TechWa and attach completed & signed RFS within 10 Days – sooner the better. The tech has 10 days from the date service was completed to login to TechWa and attach the RFS or the work order will not be paid. Attached is step by step directions to create a label and to enter return tracking.
Three, return core part and provide Barrister the return tracking number. The tech has 10 days from the date service was completed for the part to be returned e.g. scans as in transit or shows returned or the work order will not be paid. To expedite payment, you can now go to Barrister’s web portal, TechWa, and enter this information yourself. Attached is step by step directions to create a label and to enter return tracking.

This sounds very similar to my story. I had worked for Barrister since 2003. Had occasional problems, especially when Katrina hit. Since that time, tech hold times have increased - over 3 hours on hold at 3PM MDT on a Friday, till the onsite person had to go home, pay has become a pain, and getting hold of dispatch take over an hour. Then they deactivate me because I complain about not being paid on time and am "Unhappy"
