Subject: Mike Mitchell
If that is Mike Michell, then why is that person taking in the 3d person. By the way, last I saw of Mike, he was selling manufactured homes in Redding. Apparrently, Mike wasn't the only one that sued Pacesetter over mileage, hence class action suit by several ex-employees that was won.
In another note: One writer asked Steve why that he would keep his trophies from Pacesetter when it was such a bad experience. I asked him and he said that the job was fun, but the managers sucked as well as the ones that kept getting hired to flood the floor with sales staff that sat there like a lump at a sales presentation and got half the commission and with a 1 % retention rate, you knew they were going to be gone in a matter of time. Overall, he said that working there was a possitive experience, but a particular manager got under his skin so much that he had to quit and take a whole year off and regroup.
Gary Kluck met him at a spot half way between Sacramento and Trinity County to have dinner in Williams at Gonzelas. At that time he offered him 2 options, one being a floater and work from home like an independent contractor or take a position as the Manager of the Tacoma, WA office. He says that he slept on it and decided that he had had enough and was "burned out". Shortly after that Pacesetter started to impload. That's when he was called and told about this site. It all started when a friend of his was mentioned as the rep that sold the product in Redding, CA, which is where this all began. He was mentioned and asked the administrator of this site to not mention his name.
Well to sum everything up, Steve wants to remember the good times and forget the bad, so he will never use this site under his real name again, because of the obvious.

Leave Steve Alone!
I knew Steve as well and found him to be quite a salesperson. I knew the others that are trying to get his goat and they were typical Pacesetter Clones - money hungry and full of themselves.
I've read all the comments and agree with him about those mentioned. He would always defend himself if backed into a corner. You would mean nothing to him, but even so, he would not just let it go. More of us should be that way. I give him (Steve) credit for standing up to you. He is a honest hard working man and his expectations are nothing more than what he would do himself - Your small little faction is just a grain of sand on the beech. Realize that will you and you should grow up and take your own advice.
I'm going to contact others that new Steve and Roomed with him on the road. We always had a good time selling and having fun as well. He taught me how to close and overcome objections and look and act professional and plan my day wisely and work smart. There should have been more Steves. You on the other hand are spitefull and vindictive and more over - downright uncivilized with your cussing and horible language. What did he do to you to hold such hate? He didn't live up to your expectations? You owe him an appology. That man gave 26 years in defense of this country and this is what he gets for a thanks? I'd better see some thanking and appologies or I will round up several others to prove to you that you are wrong!

I too remember working with you in the Redding office. Everything the others are writing about you is true. You weren't friends with ANYONE and no one found you appable, friendly, kind, generous and felt you were FAR from normal. To quote you, "NOBODY CARES WHAT YOU DID AT PACESETTER, DON'T YOU GET IT". And if your experience at Pacesetter was so bad why do you still have those crusty old awards adorning the walls of your executive office? You also state you "have moved on" so why don't you!!! Quit sniping (which you spelled incorrectly by the way) at the world and "Be an adult for once"

Subject: Not once but twice! - Additional info
We did get the lien removed from our property and closed our escrow on our re-fi, but it took extra time and effort and I was very upset that Pacesetter had put the lien on our home without our consent or knowledge. Johnny Shy tried to make it seem as though it was all a mistake but I knew it wasn't and often wondered if the delay in getting the flooring installed was to allow them time to lien our home. Shame on them and much empathy to all of you have also been taken by Pacesetter. Just recently a local company told me that Pacesetter went out of business and now after reading all these stories, I think the management should be held liable for the grief they have caused their customers and former employees.

We bought replacement windows from Pacesetter in Northern Nevada from a shyster named Johnny Shy. He had a nice enough partner, Gus, who was just learning the business. We had all windows replaced. They were done on time and have been somewhat good, although the savings from utility costs haven't been what they claimed. We paid cash and the costs may have been higher than local contractors would have done the job for, I haven't compared. (I wish we had found this website sooner or we would not have bought from them.) We were given a new storm door for free. The man who measured the windows did come back and give us some extra rollers when one of the windows was hard to slide because of the dust that blew in the drain rail. Later we had our kitchen and utility room floors re-done in Wilsonart flooring. It took almost 3 months for that to be done, Johnny said the flooring was back-ordered.) We had to get someone back about a month later because the flooring separated about 1/8th inch in the utility room. The man who fixed it apologized and even left his name and phone # if we had any additional problems, which we didn't. Shortly after the install, we did a re-fi on our home for a lower interest rate and the day before we were to close we learned Pacesetter had a lien on our property without our knowledge and before we had been notified of the place to pay-off the loan. We had to take money from our savings to pay Pacesetter off because the title company said in the process of doing the re-fi when the first mortgage was paid off Pacesetter would become the First mortgage holder and the new finance for the home would be second, which the bank would not do. I had a hard time getting in touch with Johnny Shy, finally locating him in Las Vegas. He assured me it was all a mistake, etc but what a mess. I wish someone would sue them and get a huge money judgment against all of them. I told the Omaha office to never send anyone from their company here again, especially Johnny Shy!!!

Dave, don't you read the comments posted before you start running off at the mouth. When you say we - you are referring to your dual personality. And, nobody cares what you did a Pacesetter, don't you get it. People left because they weren't cut out in sales. Don't blame me. And, don't you remember, I was the Assistant manager and only got half of the commission anyway. What an idiot. As far as what you did, from what I understood from 2 of my friends, you ran everybody off, but again, nobody runs anybody off, I'll give you that credit, with a 1% retention rate generally at Pacesetter, I would say that there were a lot of people running a lot of people off besides me - right. By the way, my 20 something Factory Rep of the month awards adorn the walls of my executive office along with all my military awards and certificates, so I still feel like I accomplished something while I was having my Pacesetter experience. I never cared for you personally, or Gail, who I never met or that Mike guy at TM. I did like Tennis and Gary Kluck. I also liked Buda as well. You got in my way, so I chose to go somewhere else and I did make the right choise. When Pacesetter Filed for Bankruptcy on Nov 17, 200?, which is my birthdate, by the way, that was a great birthday present for me. People like you I expect to be critical of me, for I don't pull any punches or hide the fact that you are disliked. I don't yoke myself with people like you and unfortunately, there were a few like you at Pacesetter. I can't be friends with everybody and there are plenty of people out there that find me appable, friendly, kind, generous and perfectly normal. Again, just like sales, it's a numbers game. If you have ever followed an election campaign, most win by about 54% to 46%, and that means that about 1/2 of the people would say that one or the other suck. So, lets quit sniping at each other. I have moved on and am successful in the Publication business. I AM the publisher and my staff and I are putting out a great product without any silly little high school games like is /was done at Pacesetter. We are professional and come that way, not like Pacesetter that thought they could train a Gorilla to sell their products and then when they left, managers like you start accusing others of running them off. I was all ready a professional when I arrived at Pacesetter, just trying to get back into civilian life after the military and since I was all ready skilled Pacesetter came easy, hence all those Saleperson of the month awards, even in little Redding. Dave, you just need to face the facts - you got to be in charge for a little while, which you did not deserve and the results were predictable. You pissed off everybody and they all left because of you or just weren't cut out for that type of job. Now move on and quit sniping at me. Be an adult for once!

There you go again. I would like everybody who reads this site that this person trying to have a lot of fun trying to irritate me with unsubstantiated accusations. This person is neither known to me and the things that this person says are untrue. I don't know why that this person has singled me out with such attacks. I was never fired or ran off good salestaff or sexually harrassed any female employees. The individual that was mentioned had a girlfriend in her motel room almost all the time during the work week and had no committment to succeeding at such a rough form of employment. I will not be told that this person had accused me of such a thing. There was never anything brought up about it to me before or ever. The only reason that I even write on this site is to help other members who happened to work at Pacesetter rialize that there is life after it. If I hadn't ran into a couple of my old friends the other day, I wouldn't have even thought about this website. It is apparent that with such hostilities amoung co-workers and all the greed associated with commision sales, that there was apparently a lot of underlying jeolousy and resentment. I don't care how much that anybody bought into the Pacesetter hirarchy or sales accomplishment - that's history and should be left as such. Move on Gail - you are nothing to me or your thoughts, ideas, concepts, experiences, accomplishments or anything about you. You are stuck in Pacesetter. Trust me, Pacesetter is/was not the highlight of my life, experiences or accomplishments and I am not impressed with anything that anybody accomplished at Pacesttter. The place is dead - so please let the dead rest in peace!

Steve,
It seems awful funny to me that everyone responding to your posts shares the same opinion of you. You are the most arrogant piece of work I've ever seen in my life. It's obvious that you have cracked even worse than ever before.
You, single handedly, were able to run off almost every talented rep in the Redding office. No one could stand to run with you, benefitted nothing from your training and not to mention the sexual harassment toward female reps. Does the name Cory ring a bell? She told me of the disgusting things you said to her and your advances toward her. No 25 year old attractive woman would even acknowledge your existance.
If you think you are so powerful that you can cease ANYONE'S transmissions on this site then go right ahead. I too can write anything I want at anytime I choose.
We do agree on 1 thing, there were many psychotic employees at Pacesetter. Everyone but you will agree that you were at the top of the list of thousands. I don't see anyone posting to YOUR defense.
Just accept it. Go on living in your own little world with your fan club of 1 and keep believing that you are the greatest human on earth. It makes me laugh that someone has convinced themself of such garbage. I guess if you keep on lying to yourself it must make you believe your crap.
By the way, I won a Victor for running the Redding/Reno office as a TM. I don't recall you ever getting one!!!!

Lets get things straight first of all. I have never met you, I never got fired, I wasn't married and members of the TM crew have admitted in previous postings that they were using drugs. They also admitted to having sex on the desk of the managers after hours. Those are the facts or what people have said. I worked at Pacesetter from Jan - Dec 1997. I developed Pnuemonia which was the reason for leaving in the first place and had to quit when my father passed away shortly after that. Thanks for making me relive that :-(. I took the rest of 1998 to get my mother's place sold and get her relocated. I ran into Tennis Ingebristsen in Apr of 1999 and went back to work then and you were not in Telemarketing. You had been terminated and Mr. Hernandez was the Manager and then some guy named Mike took over when Hernandez left. I won a trip to the Bahamas in 2000 for productivity. I went to Flight School in Omaha during 911. You had nothing to do with that. I'm sorry but you must be mistaking me for someone else. I quit right after Thanksgiving in 2001 and you have nothing to do with that either. I was not fired as you state and if you persist, I am going to request that the administrator of this website block your transmissions, for you are slandering me. The only Gail Harter that I remember was a hyper waco telemarketer. She reminded me of the wicked witch in the Wizzard of Oz. If that is you, we are not in the same league and anything you say I wouldn't take anymore seriously than some of the Homeless, toothless old hags that roam the streets of Old Town Eureka. So Give it up and realize that I will write on this site anytime I want and I don't care if losers like you don't like it - OK! I will not give you the satisfaction of even responding to anymore of your nonsense, so go lick your wounds and realize that you can't phaze me. nor any disingenuos Pacesetter clones. You don't care about yourselves, so why would anybody suspect that you would care about anybody or anything else? Just go away will you! I would like to concentrate my efforts in helping those who were tramatized by their Pacesetter experience, whether by purchasing products or being an ex-employee, that's why I chose to write "Life after Pacesetter". I never pointed a finger at anybody in particular, but a steriotypical type. It's my right to do that and I plan on excercising my rights in many more ways that one. Got it!

It was unbearable working with you for everyone involved. You caused so many problems that Pacesetter suffered because of you. We all rejoiced the day you got FIRED!!
If the leads generated by so called "meth heads" were SO bad, how did you get to be #1 as you put it. As far as name calling goes, did you conduct drug tests on everyone? I didn't think so, so if you're so high and mighty you might want to stop the name calling as well!!

This is for the comment left by Dave Brown in #120. You are living in a dream world. I still have the stats on hand and challenge you to prove your claim. Actually, I don't think that all the people who were taken advantage of by Pacesetter who write thei desperate comments on this website care to here about how great you were. And, with your comment about my age, that justs proves that their IS age discrimination. Why else would you make that comment. It certainly doesn't hurt me, since I am finacially well off and holding down a high position with a very popular Regional Visitor Publication. So, why don't you offer some of the customers who are anguished some advice on how to get out of some of their delimas that you read about, enstead of name calling. Tennis was a generous well liked person and you - well we had to think a long time to remember your name. Tennis did like to drink - no question about it, but he was kind, generous, outgoing and friendly. We all have some skeletons in the closet of some sort, so if you are without any, I would be surprized. I never got to know you like Tennis, nor did you make any attempt to forge a relationship with the top rep in the office. Hell, when we went to the Bahamas, we never even had dinner together, which was shortly after you had mistakenly been placed in the position. You could have learned a lot from Tennis about leadership, of which you had no clue, but is to be expected of a "trainee manager". When I left Pacesetter, of which you were the reason, you deprived the Corporation of $100,000s in revenue and you continued to run everyone off with your lack of leadership skills. You were a perfect example of one who had risen to his highest level of incompetence. Now, you want to lash out at me and critices my age and call people drunks. Just remember what it says in Romans Chapter 13. I am not a religious fanatic, but have read and believe what it says in there in most cases. As far as Neal Rogencamp is concerned, when we said he was selling in a lucrative market (San Jose), we were told that it didn't matter, now you are confirming our beliefs. I liked Neal and don't care that he was accused of what some other informent stated in an ealier posting. When I first started at Pacestter, he was the story of success. Nobody ever talked about any Dave Brown. Now, please don't continue to slander people on this website and confirm age discrimination, because it will come back to haunt you, if you know what I mean.

Ann,
Did you sign a deed of trust when you purchased the windows? In California, one would have to sign a Deed of Trust if the Financed amount was over $5,000.00. Did a Notary Public have your sign anything? When One signs these things, they automatically have a lean put on their home and then when the bill is payed off the deed is reconveyed or removed from your property. If you are still paying, regardless of whether you have never missed a payment, a deed of trust has been filed in the courthouse. You might check to see if that is what you did, without realizing it. I was a Notary Public and Notarised many sales for the purpose of placing a lean against the property in the amount of the financed amount. Hope you get it straightened out.

Subject: Best Sales Person Ever
To: "Best Sales Person Ever" The person that I have met and am familiar with that I felt was the Best Sales Person in my region was Neal Roggencamp, so unless you identify yourself, you could be anybody. By the way, are you into Pre-War Lionel Template Trains as well? I ask this because you said double whatever I have and you have that. I've been looking for someone else into the same hobby as I am. I am a TCA member - are you as well. Someone that sells that much stuff would have been one that I would have looked forward to learning from at the time. I had just gone through a divorce and had to start all over again at 50 years old, so Pacesetter looked like a great place to build up some capital. The money was great, but their treatment of personnel wasn't. I'm not saying that it was all bad, but "check-in" was always a challenge for me, knowing that I was the top producer at my office and still had to get second guessed every morning. Our telemarketers have admitted in earlier feedbacks that they were on drugs. I knew that and it really bothered me with their insensitive leads where someone was sent on a wild goose chase in the opposite direction of home on a Saturday Afternoon after being away from their own bed all week. Those leads always turned out to be bogus or retaliation for not demoing or just plained viciousness on the part of a meth head. I had a successful career in the military and was just trying to re-adjust to civilian life at the time, but now I look back at the experience as good and character building. When I tell my wife what I did back then to stay affloat financially, she justs says "I feel sorry for you", but at the time there wasn't much else for a retired 50 year old soldier except for selling cars, insurance, homes or selling in general. I have fond memories of my first manager at Pacesetter, being Richard Crumb. He was a good guy with a big heart, and Tennis Ingebritsen, who was a great motivator and generous, but without mentioning any names, there were 2 others that I wish I had never worked with. Anyway, Mr. Best Salesperson, thanks for the compliment about the military. 26 years of my life were devoted to that and now I have found my new niche' in publishing. Have a good day.

Because of my outspokeness, I wasn't put into the position that you did not deserve. If you will remember correctly, I had a higher sales amount than you did to go to the Bahamas and was totally familiar with the area. As far as a wife, I think it was you that had a problem, not me and I wasn't even married. As far as the papers are concerned, what gives you the right to criticise a right that one has when they are right in pointing out what this website was set up to expose in the first place. Apparently, I am not alone! You were too young to manage men. You never gained my respect or any of the other one's that I am still friends with as well.

I also bought the windows but only 4 over priced one. I can feel air around them. The company was a good one at one time but sold it to others who had no clue what they were doing and went bankruptcy. They taught me a lesson- not only to ask how long the company has been in business but have proof they haven't sold it recently.
I am going to closing today on my home only to discover they put a lien on property without letting the person know about it. I have not missed one payment!!!! It comes out automatically from my checking account.
I was told today this is something they do all the time and no one knows about it.
I do know where mine was set up and will give the information but I wanted to post this today so others that might have had this done are aware.
If you are still making payments, check to see if their is a lien on your property!!!!
How dirty can one company be???!!!!
They taught me a good lesson. I will check everyone out from now on that does work on my home.

Subject: Life after Pacesetter
Just wanted to let people know that there is life after Pacesetter.
I was the Assistant Manager of the Redding, CA branch in 2001 and had been a rep since Jan of 1997. I ran into 2 of my former team mates at Pacesetter today in Redding. One is now the owner of a successful Carpet and Flooring store and the other is an independent contractor installing flooring. I won't mention their names, because they don't know that I am writing this. I am the Publisher of a regional visitor magazine, called 101 Things To Do Regional Visitor - Humboldt. All three of us are doing great and have moved on and been successful. One thing that I can honestly say about Pacesetter in the positive is their systematic approach to closing a sale. Thanks Pacesetter! I have used a modified version of the 10 step consistantly. I might ad that some of the people that I ran into at Pacesettter were genuine people, but allot were disingenuous. It has been 5 years now since I worked there and I still recall some fond memories of living on the road at Clear Lake and Dunsmuir and Fall River Mills, etc. But then there were the cookie cutter multi-level managers that acted like sleazy barkers at a nude encounter parlor, with their stereotypical behavior and claims of positive mental attitudes and demo rates and close ratios that I wonder what they are doing now? I guess they are probably selling used cars or working at the flea market or maybe the carival - now that's a good one. Where are you now Mr. Kluck and Mr. Anderson. Oh where are you? I really did like Tennis Ingebritsen - just too bad that he took the pact with the devil offered to him when he left Redding. Where are you Tennis? You are probably living in the Caribean sitting in the shade sipping on a great drink. You were a good guy and will always be remembered as such. And, I didn't really run off all those lousy reps that were pulled off a park bench and taken their bottle of ripple away. They just didn't have the character or perseverience to handle the pressures of that type of job. A Leopard doesn't change their spots, so a loser will always be a loser. Just thought I'd get that thought in for old time sake. Everybody remember to be careful how you treat strangers, for you never know when you are intertaining an Angel without realizing it. Hope you guys had a good time on our houseboat trip after the ones that made it happen were kicked off, Tennis. Later everyone!

Subject: for P Cook and other PC (Pacesetter Corp) customers,,,,
Im sorry sir. Anything that PACESETTER CORP installed at all is voided for warranty work by them, your kinda stuck like chuck... sorry. In this business, its common for a business to be deceased after just a few short years. Here is the problem: The company (pacesetter or MyCo) signs a contract with a homeowner for lets say, windows, the order is made thru the manufacturer (dont beleive the circle of fear bullshit, its all a ploy to get you to beleive MyCo is not a standard general contractor, THEY SUB OUT TALL THEIR JOBS!!) and then when the materials are received the customer is called and scheduled for install. THe problem is, day laborers are hired to install the windows, or paint the house, or put up the roof! Here is the problem, they are paid like crap cause the compant wants to make as much as possible from the sale. Well, when Jeorge, and Jose put up your windows, they didnt put them in right. Well, when you need a service, the company that sold you the windows is gonna do everything they can to NOT COME OUT FOR SERVICE WORK. It dont make them money to service work, ONLY NEW INSTALLS. Well, they have to survive as a company, RIGHT!!?? So you finally call the manufacturer after you file a formal complaint on your contractor thru the BBB (wont help), the company that designed the wonodows (amerimax, superior, milgard, anderson, pella, IWC, the list goes on and on...) WILL EVENTUALLY come by after you bug them for a few weeks. Well, here is the BULLSHIT!! They show up, look at the windows and say, "Sir, Im sorry to inform you, but these windows were not installed to manufacturers recomendation, I cannot cover these windows under OUR warranty, the warranty is VOID!!" Okay, now AFTER spending about $11,000 on windows and patio doors, is this WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR!!?? HELL NO!! But it happens with almost every company!! Im gettin outa this business!!

Now those ppl who work for MYCO and in the Concord (bay) office will know who I am. I walked in today and told Larry KRAPowsky to fuck off basiclly, in a nice way, I had to, or I would have ripper his fuckin throat out with my hands!! I cant stand this asshole. I told his old ass that he is the rudest, most dis respectfull person I have ever met. I told him his talking down to ppl and opening his fuckin mouth is gonna get his ass in trouble one of these days! He's like "well, thanks for your opinion, everyone is entiled to their opinion." I said, its a fasct Larry, not a personal opinion. I tols him that I have spoke with ppl in Pennsylvania and they have said how much they hate him, and have told me thier opinions about his old ass. Now I know he and the company caould give a fuck less about my opinion, or my loss as an employee. I dont care, what I do care about is ppl reading this so they know what kinda company MYCONTRACTOR.COM is!! They are crooks, lyars, and bullshitters!! Its all the same bullshit, and the sad part is, a very good friend of mine got sucked back into this company after PACESETTER didnt pay him over $20,000 that they owed him!! Sound familiar!!?? Fuckin ppl.... He is a good person too, just tryin to make it big. He has known Gary iskra for over a decade, so Im sure he will always stick by his side, sorry Velvet, I just hope they dont fuck you over like they did last company they ran! It was great, just like I stated in my last entry, Gary HIMSELF (Iskra) said he didnt want their to EVER be a MYCONTRACTOR.COMSUCKS.COM, I think Im gonna go make one today! I really dont want to run it, and keep it updated and host it, its a pain in the ass, plus it costs money!! Something that these fuckers refuse to pay out!! So maybe I will, I dont know, depends on how much it is, and how much i got left on my credit card! Lol. Ill keep everybody updated, cause like i said, I got a lot more dirt on this company!!

SAME PPL SAME BULLSHIT!! Yes, the CEO is the Good ol GI (Gary Iskra) and the faggot Gary Cluck is up in Sac with Jerry Anderson (who I seen in the BAY Office yesterday). Unfortunatly, some idiot company invested over $150 million into Gary and his "business plan" (what a joke) so he could get MyContractor.com up and running. He is moving in a very FAST pace, as always, which smart business owners know will kill your business!! So anyways, Im PISSED at my company (mycontractor.com) right now, it is the same fuckin shitty run company it was before. The same fuckin ppl are there!! Mike Madden, Larry (im gonna beat his ass!! And bust those ugly fuckin TEETH in!!) Krempasky, as I said, Cluck the fat fuck is up in Sac, with that faggot Jerry Anderson, just the pure thought of these fucks back workin with eachother makes me sick. Oh, MYCO (thats what GARY ISKRA calls it) is at the PLEASANTON FAIRGROUNDS this weekend at the HOME SHOW. Do me a favor tho, the ppl there are LARRY KRAPOWSKY, and 2 or 3 canvassers (totally innocent ppl) go get a shirt made at the local uniform shop, its only about $20, have it say on the front, MYCONTRACTOR.COM is the OLD PACESETTER CORP.!!! then on the back, have this web address printed, go to WWW.PACESETTERSUCKS.COM for the REAL info on MYCONTRACTOR.COM!! Lol. They paid over $5,000 for the booth, which you cant miss, they are like the 3rd or 4th booth when you walk in!! Lol. I would do this, but Im an employee for now. Dont hate me tho, Im just tryin to feed my little girl and keep my girl happy! I fuckin hate this company, but its what i have right now, so i just do it. I dont think PaceSetter Corp will ever pay anyone what they owe them. I worked for their faggot asses last year, and I knew I wasnt gonna win and get my money, so I filed for unemployment and started gettin checks every 2 weeks for about $800 each (only $1,600 a month, but i was also working under the table, indoors, and gettin paid too) I got sooooooo much info on this NEW company that would be sooooo fun to put up on this website. I know that GI and the crew reads it too, cause they have mentioned it at MYCO (mycontractor.com) Gary says, "I dont want there to ever be a MYCONTRACTORSUCKS.COM, I want to do things right here, treat ppl right, and make it fair! I want to keep people happy, all the time!" ROFLMAO.... What a FUCKIN joke!! This man has his HEAD so FAR up his OWN ass he cant tell left from right!! Gary Iskra JUST changed his cell phone number the other day!! Guess he was sick of harassing phone calls from ex-PC employees. lol. WANT THIS NEWE CELL NUMBER!?!??? I HAVE IT!!! Lol. This muther FUCKER runs around with a $30,000 solid gold ROLEX YACHTMASTER watch on his wrist!! Cant pay his fuckin ppl the millions of dollars HE owes them for FUCKIN them over, but he can wear a watch that most ppl dont have cars that are worth that MUCH!! He is a BITCH that has gained off other ppl's misfortune and heartache. He will get whats coming to him. And this little old FUCK, Larry Krap-owsky, he is the most disrespectfull, demeaning fucker I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Im a grown man that has met alot of scum in my life from bein locked up, but little LARRY, is the biggest piece of shit I have met,EVER!!

He was havin chest pains the other day, GOOD, i hope his ass has a MAJOR heart attack and drops fuckin DEAD!! Fuck him! Sorry... Im pissed at this guy. I got up in his face the other day cause he was tryin to be the controlling type... fuckin old man, ya think he would know better! Oh well.

Subject: The storm door is TRASH as is the warranty and the company
I got SUCKED into Pacesetter Corporation through Sam's Club. I filled out an estimate request in the store and there began my frustration. I purchased a storm door and laminate flooring in 2004.
So far the flooring installed is fine but the storm door is TRASH. It was NEVER installed properly. It had many, many adjustments during its period when adjustments were free. The threshold was never installed properly. The strip at the bottom fell off and it was letting cold air into the house. The latch for the catch for the lock kept coming loose and I kept repositioning it and creating new screw holes. The springs inside the hinges fell out on my front porch floor so the door is falling of its hinges. And finally, the handle/lock has completely fallen off, both inside and outside. I've NEVER seen such trach. The door will not close and when there is a strong wind it flies open and hits the railing. I fully expect the glass to shatter soon when a strong gust comes about.
But fool me once shame on me. I thought it was a reputable company since I was approached in Sam's Club. I'll tell you this the lesson I've learned is for expensive purchases like this I'll trust a brand name with a long and reputable history.
The storm door is TRASH. It's being hauled away and replaced with an ANDERSEN storm door from Home Depot. Cost me less three years later and its a better door with a warranty that a recognized manufacturer will stand behind and a recognized retailer has sold.
Pacesetter Corporation is TRASH.

Subject: Hmmm the Koolvent crew goes west to screw people
I worked for Koolvent in the late 90's. I am sure most of you know by now that Koolvent was owned by Gary Iskra, Mark Aloe was CFO, Larry Krempasky VP telemarketing, Mickey Madden VP sales, and the name Gary Kluck sounds very familiar.
Koolvent was known for shady buisness practices in the East. Mainly PA, OH, WV, MD. Everything I read here sounds like the old stuff too a "T". The sales tactics, the telemarketing tactics, all of it.
Here is a quick rundown for anyone that is not familiar with the happenings from 10 years ago in the Ohio Valley. Koolvent sold alot of windows and siding jobs. They had a supposed lifetime warranty. Koolvent went out of buisness and became American Home Improvements, a licensed contractor for Sears. All of the previous Koolvent customers were left in the dark for service and "warranty" coverage. I talked with many a very upset Koolvent customers over my time. I would urge anyone to steer clear of this group, thier track record is telling.

Well, it was quite a shock to come across this site and realize I'm certainly not the only one who has had a problem with this company. Quite some time ago, I had a strong suspicion they were going out of business, but was working full time and didn't really have time to follow up.
My problem was not nearly as big as some of them posted on this site - basically, I'm in a mobile home, had some of my windows and a sliding patio door replaced, and had a storm door put on my back entrance. It is the kind with the screen on the bottom and window that slides up or down. The area inside the door is a dark laundry room and my purpose was to get light into the room without worrying about outside heat or cold. The side piece which enables the window to slide up and down had the plastic clip on one end break off.......I called and asked if it could be replaced under warranty - of course, I just had to pay a $90 trip fee to make it possible! (I live 40 miles from the office in Sacramento!) Helen (at Pacesetter) told me three times they would be happy to mail me the piece I needed - part number 24B, which is the entire slider piece for one side. The last time I spoke with her, she confirmed it was in the mailroom, being packaged for mailing - yeah, right! I finally had time THIS MORNING to call, got the disconnected number recording, checked the website - gone - and started googling to see what I could find and found you! Guess I'm SOL - oh well, should count my blessings that my problem isn't as bad as some of the other ones! Just wanted to add my confirmation that PaceSetter SUCKS - big time!

We had the unfortunate experience of having Pacesetter put storm windows and doors on our home over 20 years ago. Well needless to say the product was horrible and the company was no help in correcting the problems. The doors warped and the storm windows leaked causing water damage.
The worst thing is when we refinanced our home, we learned that Pacesetter had filed a lien against our home title the day after we signed the papers and then sold the loan. The bank who bought the loan released their lien but not the one Pacesetter filed. When Pacesetter was contacted, the customer service was rude to me and to the morgage company, stating it wasn't their problem. It's been three years and nothing has been resolved so I'm getting an attorney.

Subject: pacesetter windows
Our windows were installed in February of 1997. We started having problems with the ones used the most about three years after installation. Being mechanically adept I was able to keep them functioning reasonably well. But that lasted for only another two years. We finally broke down and made a service call. This is when we found out that pacesetter no longer maintained an office in Utah. The service tech. (title used loosely), came down from Wyoming to asess the problem. There were many windows that would not raise and lower easly. And I'm talking about 13 out of 21 windows! This particular techs. answer to this problem was to spray the window track with Amour All vinyl and leather treatment. Never mind the hardware that is falling apart! With such blatent and obvious disregard for their customers and the quality of their products, how is it this company stayed in basiness as long asthey have? and WHY hasn't a class action suit been filed against them?

Nightmare! When it rains, it pours into our living room! This problem was noticed a year ago, but when my husband attempted to contact Pacesetter (Baltimore, MD), the number on the business card had been disconnected. I just discovered today (5/12/06) that the website can not be located. Shame on us that we did not check with the BBB before signing the contract. Now, we have to put out extra money to have this problem fixed because the rain is damaging the walls in our living room. You live and learn!

Sex and drugs in the office, office bathrooms, man it was unreal. Too much drama and too many stoned workin hours. Hehehehehehe. It was fun every day bein stoned, but now that im older i just cant see the point in it. But it was fun lol. VK

I worked for this FRIENDLY GARY fellow you speak of in terms of being a saint. He was sure a saint when my father had a heart attact and i asked to be with him i was told - "I don't fuckin' (his words not mine) care I have a quota to hit" or the time I said "Hey Gary I'm getting married - in a couple weeks I need Saturday off," he responded (I have it all on tape recording)- "You sure ask for a lot of time off." I guess missing 1 day of work in 20 years is a bit excesssive - Oh yeah, I just want to thank Gary for offering to sell his NBA tickets to those who worked around me for 175.00 each after netting over 3 million dollars for the month. To think, most other places the man in charge would have said, "Good Month - have the tickets on me"

Hi!
Heard Pacesetter went bankrupt when appproached recently by a new wave of scam sucking artists in the house paint business.About 5 years ago had kitchen cabinets refaced.3 day job took 4 months.Everything was and went wrong.Wrong agreement,wrong work.wrong parts,stole old doors to be used in garage,missized parts that did never work, absolutely no customer service,their lawyer threatened lawsuit if i did not want to pay for the horrendous job,filed a complaint with the contractors board in Sacramento,and finally paid about half when I should have brought them to court.These people would lie to their dad and steal from their mom.Gave their branch office a long apocalyptic 'limb chewing'tirade and when I saw one guy shook up I shifted the words directly to those who could care less.And they don't.So it didn't bother them,but you can believe that soon after a supervisor named Ray expired from a heart attack.Tough tickets!Nice consolation to know that if not here then later over there we all get what's coming to us.I'm accountable for how I react and that is my trouble.I was humbled long ago for fighting back and yet everyone in business that won't be honest in weighing price to work;agreement;quality;time;and service,think that people just will not complain or expect them to do anything about it.Therefore,I have no sympathy for the ones on top of things as they take from the customer everything they can.Tell me if they are truly out of business,so I can hope these takers are the real losers and cannot even sell a burger w/fries.

We all have all the copies of memos from Gary Iskra promising this and promising that, ALL LIES. Silly ho wants to blame everyone except the people in charge(she must have worked @ Enron). She dosent sound like a happy salesperson rolling in dough, but more like a bottom feeder begging for slop @ the trough of the pigs who destroyed Pacesetter now known as Mycontracor.com If in fact Klunk and Sikra are doing so well @ Myshitwork.com why dont they pay us and all the customers nationwide that were RIPPED OFF under their REIGN OF INCOMPETENCE what they owe us and we can move on. Until that time we will all be happy to share the Pacesetter/Myconvictractor connection with anyone open to be victimized by these scumbag lowlifes who, by the way give all home improvement companies a bad name.

YALL ARE JUST MADD CAUSE I GOT PAID AND YOU DIDNT!! and the LAME COMEBACKS, childish! You must be young. Say what you want, fact of the matter is we have 100's of millions of dollars for investing into the company, and its the next best thing to sliced bread. We have the largest displays at the shows, and the most available man power to complete jobs. Again, say what you want, IM GETTIN FATT PAYCHECKS EVERY 2 WEEKS, YALL AINT!! Reason I dont give my name, I DONT WANT YOU TRASHY ASS TELEMARKETERS finding out where I LIVE! Last thing I need is trashy, drug addict, alcoholics coming around my place!! THATS WHY! So, once again, GO AHEAD AND SAY WHAT YOU WANT, THINK WHAT YOU WANT, IT WONT MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN HOW WE DO BUSINESS. WE STILL GONNA MAKE IT BIG, AND MAKE MILLIONS DOIN IT! None of you had ANYTHING to say that was BAD when you were working there, GETTIN PAID every friday, or whatever your pay schedule was, as a matter of fact, PLENTY of you thought it was the best place to work, THATS why you brought all your friends to work there too!! So when the $6 million dollar lawsuit happened and PACESETTER lost, the company was done with, especially since the lawers had access to the BANK ACCT'S of PACESETTER, they just went and took the money. One day PACESETTER had a lot of money, the next day, WE WERE BROKE!! Blame it on the ASSHOLE who was drinkin and drivin, and almost KILLED a child with OUR work truck! Not to mention all the CORPORATE idiots in Penn. who had their heads up their ass and didnt know how to run a BIG company, to make a long story short, the people were too COMFORTABLE in the company for too long and that helped the end of PACESETTER, and Iskra had a bad insurance coverage for employees (FOR HIM) see if an employee went to the hospital to have a baby, it didnt cost the couple anything, they were covered by PACESETTER, but Gary had to come out of pocket, tens of thousands of dollars!! GARY ISKRA paid more monies out for EMPLOYEES than ANYONE CARES to pay attention to. HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS! He told me that one time, an employee had to have a C-section done and it cost him $135,000 in hospital bills. LOL. HE PAID IT FOR THEM!! YEA, BET YOU DIDNT KNOW THAT!! SO all of you who think differently now cause YOU DIDNT GET PAID, but when you were gettin paid, you thought it was the BEST place on earth to work, YALL GOT MENTAL PROBLEMS, go see a doctor. lol. Think what you want about me. Brown Noser, ass kisser, lol, whatever you want, its ONLY your opinion, and doesnt effect me 1 bit. So if your little young ass thinks thats the way to get to someone, GROW UP! Id be glad to talk with ANY of you in person or on another site, or even by AIM, but you will never see my FULL NAME on this site! EVER! I AINT THAT STUPID, THOSE OF YOU WHO DO PRINT YOUR NAME HERE ON THIS SITE, ARE ASKING FOR IDENTITY THEFT AND DANGER OF YOUR FAMILY, CAUSE IT EASY TO FIND YOUR ADDRESS WITH A FULL NAME. STUPID IDIOTS.

TO all you nameless people, I guess you do not get it. The Pacesetter corp was a good company years ago. The new management team was the cause of the companys passing. The Garys and the others are not smart savy businessmen. They are liers and theives. They stole literally millions of dollars from suppliers, employees, and customers. If they are now on the Mycontractor.com team, then the new customers need to know the quality of the management team they are dealing with. You who agree with the way the business was done and profitted will be paid back. Your turn is coming. Al Capone was never convicted of any crimes, except tax evasion. All of you that worked for Pacesetter and lied to customers will be spending time with Bubba. The people that read this website will make sure you will get whats coming to you.

NOBODY YOU KNOW. Im not one of the people you think I am. I was paid EVERY CHECK cause I brought in over $190,000 each month, they never missed paying me. I onyl worked for PACESETTER for a short time. I actually NEVER sold out of the SAC office, just CONCORD and SAN JOSE. I AM NOT MIKE BROWN, or NEAL ROGGANCAMP either. Those guys are OLD men, that close the OLD FASHIONED way. Here, this is a HINT. I GOT TATTS on my NECK, hands, and fully sleeved on my right ARM, SEE, NONE OF YOU KNOW ME! Cluck is an ASSHOLE, yea, he is. I personally dont like the guy. Iskra on the other hand, NONE of you know anything about him. You can "read" what you want, but Ill tell ya now, most of the shit that makes it onto the PRESS and then gets out, is bent over 80% before it actually is read. So most of the shit you have read about ISKRA is bullshit, just published by people who didnt like him, and wanted to make the story more exciting, ANY of you that have ever been in the news industry KNOW that! Yea, I said that I wouldnt post agian, but I felt that those of you who think you know me, DONT, and I thought it was unfair for whatever DRUNK you are claiming is me. I dont drink. Ill smoke the hell out of a bag of weed, but drank is pioson. Its gonna be nice when the persone who pays to keep this site up decides not to fuck with it anymore, and it disappears. I am definatly not a CRUMB SNATCHER or whatever you said, I used to be, until i started making money off sorry ass leads that were generated in SAC!!! Lol. Yea, the leads were a JOKE! They SUCKED ass! Most of the homeowners were FORCED into an appointment. "well the guy on the phone said that you would be in my neighborhood and were going to stop by anyways" yea, muther fucker I just drove 68 miles from the city to your house in San jose to "be in the neighborhood" ANYONE CAN DO WHAT YOU GUYS DID. TELEMARKETING IS THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL EMPLOYEES, THE FOLKS THAT CANT GET A JOB AT A DAMN GAS STATION GOTTA BE TELEMARKETERS! WHY, CAUSE MOST ARE TWEEKERS, DRUNKS, AND TRASHY TRAILER LIVIN SCUM. Sorry, It's TRUE, at least for 75% of them. Anyways, I got a lead to run, some siding to sell. Keep siting at home reading PACESETTERSUCKS.COM and feeling sorry for yourself, its a crack up!!

Okay, THIS SITE was developed for CUSTOMERS that had been screwed over by PACESETTER. Well, that company is NOT LONGER IN BUSINESS! THIS HAS TURNED INTO A SITE FOR ex-employees to bitch cause they are too LAZY to get off their ass and do something with themselves. Yea, A LOT of people GOT FUCKED by the company, customers, and employees too. GUESS WHAT PEOPLE, its PART OF LIFE!! I have been in SALES, the real CLOSING part of sales, for ah, a few years now, I worked for PACESETTER in the "Bay Area" offices. I have worked for some of the BIGGEST names in the industry in the years I have done it, ITS A CUT THROAT INDUSTRY. No company lasts long, there is always "bullshit" going on, on the inside, people always feel they got screwed over somehow by somebody. There is a "Gary Kluck" in every compnay, in every state, out there, ready to piss YOU off! All the people who are bitchin here are the ones who are NOT stepping forward in life with their goals, and stuck in a state of SHOCK from what happened with the company. YOUR FUCKIN CLUE SHOULD HAVE BEEN LONG AGO WHEN THEY STARTED CUTTING SHIT FROM EMPLOYEES, LIKE MEDICAL COVERAGE, AND IMPORTANT THINGS THAT HUMANDS NEED. The larger the company, the more problems are gonna be there. When PACESETTER was goin thru everything it went through, I was still there, see, the people who actually made REAL money got PAID, like me. :) LOL. I was there when they were all sittin up in SAC tryin to think of a different name for the company they wanted to start, in the meetings with CLUCK and everybody who was left. I was there when the auction crews came and picked up the furnature and everyting else in the building. Look people, LIFE is sometimes the SHITS, you have to pick yourself up and keep goin strong. Plenty of you did good there, I seen it, none of you really know me, casue I sat in another office most the time, LOOKIN at all the numbers! If you can take legal action do so. I would personally recomend it. But going online and posting MORE SHIT about the NEW company is plain childish. These people who are trying to keep a business going, had nothing to do with the "ultimate demise" of PACESETTER. Gary Kluck, and Iskra, had noting to do with what happened. It was all political bullshit, and stupid fuckin lawsuits, combined with poor medical insurance for the company, it SHUT the company down. It was alot of different shit that lead up to what hapened. NONE of it was any particular persons fault. I DO STILL WORK WITH BOTH GARY's, they are wonderfull, incredible businessmen, who have made millions of dollars for themselves because they are inteligent, educated, honest human beings. NONE of the people here on PACESETTERSUCKS.COM that I have read their comments know Gary Kluck, or have ever even talked to Gary Iskra on the phone. Lol. You dont know who these people are, BUT YOU POST THEIR PHONE NUMBERS, HOME ADDRESSES, and everyting else. YOU are lucky they dont press charges and go after most of you. Go get another job, file for un-employment or whatever, BUT MOVE ON WITH YOR LIFE! As far as the NEW company goes, MYCONTRACTOR.COM will become the BIGGEST, LARGEST, MOST PROFITABLE company this country has seen, and with it, keep its morals, like honesty, companionship, and dedication to their employees, and customers for years and years. No more rippin off old people and sellin HIGH priced products. For those who know who you are, who just have a "grudge" and cant get the stick out of your ass, and keep printing UPDATED info on the movement of Gary Iskra, and his NEW company, GROW THE FUCK UP, GO GET A DAMN JOB AND MOVE ON WITH LIFE, your PATHETIC!! For those of you wishing to contact me, or want me to get back on here and make more posts, lol, I wont. I have been reading this site for the last few years, and have never made a comment till NOW. It will also be the last. I have said ALL i want to say, and thats that. Those of you who I pissed off, grow up! You are at a lower maturity level than you should be, and need to stop acting like a primate. For those of you who "feel me" and can see what Im sayin, YOU SHOULD HAVE OPENED YOUR FUCKIN MOUTH IN THE PAST! Lol. Im gonna go on making my $30K an month and enjoying myself with what I do, and watch this new company BUBBLE up to the top of the industry, and put everything in the past, where it belongs, and move on with life.....
Good luck to all you NEGATIVE, SELF CENTERED, ex-employees, that cant accept what happened and move on with life, best wishes...

I have talked to people at the new company along with another VERY solid contact and found that the company was started and funded by a small group of investors, which, mycontractor.com considers their 'owners'. However Gary Iskra is indeed considered the ceo and the other good 'ole boys all are employed there as well. Hell just call & ask for one of them. I also attended a recent home show and seen good 'ole smiling Larry. Yet the legal letter that was sent to this website says these men are not employees or involved with mycontractor. Very unsettling. I wonder what type of loopholes they will try and use to explain that these men "are not affiliated" with mycontractor.com & also another unsettling piece of info I got is that the new company, mycontractor, is actually getting a good bit of jobs and work. I just wonder if this time their trying to do things right or just gonna do a small percentage of the work on peoples homes again.

I currently work for mycontractor and it is unsettling to hear some of the info especially considering how close to home it hits. All I can offer is some honest information. Of course this is just that, information only. The CEO of mycontractor's name is Gary. The head of sales name is Mike. The gentlemen running things here in CA is also a Gary. I'm not sure what to do at this point but I felt obligated to convey this info under the risk of my own career, but if what this site says is true then I really don't have much of a career anyhow.

Well I found out about Pacesetter from doing a refi transaction with a customer who had used them in TX. After searching for the corp. to get a release of lien, I ran into this site. I read every word...and it still amazes me. Well i did some tracking of my own and found out that Gary Iskra, CEO of Pacesetter, was also CEO of Avanced Water Solutions Inc. out of Penn. To make a long story short he has been barred from owning such businesses in the future there, because the company has violated the Consumer Protection Laws in Commonwealth, Penn. In addition both companies are under review for failing to pay employees and have been ordered to pay $16,000 in back pay. In my opinion, these guys are the cream of the crop, capitalistic, and greedy folks that screw everything up for everyone. And they wonder why consumer confidence is on the downslide???

Unless the Shragers are completly stupid ignorant folks they knew exactly what they were doing. Infact amerifirst continued writing loans to pacesetter customers for many months when they knew the installs were shit. Worst of all there are 100's if not 1000's of folks that paid their loans in full only to find the liens were still on thier property giving them bad or worse credit scores and preventing them from selling, refinancing, getting that better job or car insurance.

Does anyone out there have any idea about Pacesetter's corporate structure? I have been trying to get The Pacesetter Corp served with various legal documents with no luck so far. Any information about their agent for service or aliases would be much appreciated as I am engaged in a lawsuit against pacesetter along with Amerifirst home improvements (Financial); whom I believe to be actually the same company hiding the assets of both companies.
Please email me if you have any information.

My husband worked for pacesetter in Sacramento,CA. last year, for about a month. It was a horrible experience. After struggling to get hours and then get paid for those hours worked, my husband went back to his old job. As I thought would happen we have not received a W2 from them.
I contacted the IRS who has tried to request it from Pacesetter meanwhile they have sent us a form to use in place of a W2 we are trying to efile and need Pacesetters employer tax Id number for federal and state of California.
I have tried every possible way I can think of to find someone from Pacesetter who may be able to give the numbers to me.I was wondering if some who worked there might have a W2 from Pacesetter with the federal and state of Calfornia employer tax Id numbers on it that they could share with me. It would be greatly appreciated.

In the summer of 2004 We had replacement put through our entire home. The installers torn up my plaster, left plaster all over the floors in every room and in the window sills. The windows stated to sweat and i called their so called office in Fairmont West Virginia. They sent some joker out that told us it was something we would have to live with!!! I ran him out with the broom. By the way he told us to get a de-humidifier!!! I call again and they sent out another Joker that didn't have too much of anything to say except it was normal for the windows to have "running" water coming down them. He left and we have not heard nothing from them since. Guess what? WE NOW HAVE BLACK MOLD GROWING IN ALL OF OUR WINDOW SILLS!!! I am allergic to any form of mold and it is affecting my health I have to sleep with an oxygen tank to keep from having asthma attacks. How's that for a fine job that PaceSetters do?

Even though it seems to have been a bad trip for me, I did get5 to meet alot of good people in Ohio and Indiana. I made friends, real friends with alot of my customers. It gave me hope that there are still alot of good people in this world. I didn't think so before. To my customers, I was always honest with my answers, good or bad, or I simply said nothing at all. I still think about my journeys across the midwest and the people I met. I miss the road, I don't miss standing on ladders in the snow, wind and rain for peanut wages, or driving a piece of crap truck with nearly 300,000 miles on it all ovwer this beautiful country. To my co workers in Grand Rapids, Omaha, and Nashville, thank you so much for the memories, i truly miss you all, especially Jennifer in Omaha. I learned that it is easier to get more productivity out of an employee by simply respecting them, you must remember they are people too, and you may not always be protected by your position over them, I mean, one day they may not work for you anymore and you may have to answer to their pain. As for me, easy going, no hard feelings, cause the boss told me I was one of the best, Omaha said I was great at getting service completed successfully, and very few return trips. Dear customers, becareful who you hate, not all of us were guilty, mostly the "new regime" is who you need to focus on. I never learned so much in my life about skilled trade as I did from the veteran employees in our shop, B.B., J.C., J.P., and yes even you B.S. Mycustomers were usually thrilled to death to get product installed, they were only upset when they got that first bill. To all my friendly customers in Toledo, Dayton, FT.Wayne, and so on, I wish you all the best in the end.

Subject: they tried too late
I attended a business meeting in Pittsburgh one time when I was an employee, and Pete Daniels or Danielson was there. So was redecker and a retiring bill goldman. These guys were steppping forward and asking us as assistants to go the extra mile and do services for customers without trip charges being applied. They really seemed sincere in rebuilding a nearly destroyed reputation. Problem was, these guys were left in the dark about how assistants were treated when it comes to raises or sometimes even being talked to like a respectable person, we were treated like children most of the time. How do you ask for anything extra after all of that? Nice try. I did like mr. Pete and mr. Goldman, they were old school pacesetter, trusting I still believe, they just had no clue how we were treated at home. By the way, I did take it upon myself to go the extra mile for the customer even before I was ever asked. I got bit by a damn pitbull twice on two separate occasions toperform services for the company. I didn't sue my customer, and the boss said, "well, I got bit too." I'm torn about my old supervisor, he had two weeks to inform me of my lay-off and didn't do it still knowing I had a family too. Part of me likes him to this day, and that's good, cause I'm old school, I don't call the police and I don't sue. Why do you spank a child? To make sure they don't make a mistake twice. I would probably want to remove his teeth and then drink a beer with him, just the kind of guy I am. To all of my old customers in indiana and ohio, I know you remember me, you know I did my best for you service wise, and if you never heard from me again it was not my decision. I have a conscience, and I do care about people. Money does rule this world, but surely shouldn't. Where have all of our values gone in this country? If this were not the truth I wouldn't have given my name. To my co-workers, I really miss all of you. Rick, Schrager that is, we all know why youleft the company after your father sold it out. Bless you, I wouldn't have put upwith what Isky was going to do either, and Rick did care about all of us, and he wasn't going to be a part of it. Those are the values I'm talking about. Americans, all you have is your word to go by, especially if you are poor, don't abuse that, it used to mean everything, now-a-days it aint worth spit even for the working man.

They were proud too. I do feel for all of you, hope things get better, and it is hard to forget when big money steps on you. Who fights the wars?..we the poor. Who works to build america?..we the poor. Who suffers in america?.. we the poor. Who is left with the bill at the end of everyday? we the poor. So, go ahead and vote republican, continue to get stomped by the big money people. That stuff is why people don't want to work anymore, they are not lazy, their tired of kissing ass for a living and then watching the big guy get all of the tax breaks. Hey, send the big guy to Iraq, we're footing the bill anyway. When is Bush gonna tell why 911 really happened anyway? Does everyone know the Bush family is in the oil business?

I swear the following to be true whether i can prove it on paper or not! I worked in the indy office for3 years. I didn't realize at first why customers were so upset all of the time. Then I seen bad quality, and the pricing on the materials. I have personally installed windows in houses that were barely standing. I witnessed sales people take advantage of the elderly. One time, it seemed like all of my customers were on dialysis. That's because sales got hold of a list of people on kidney dialysis and went for it. No morals and no ethics. At the end of it all, after all of the headaches, they laid me off with no notice and a family to take care of. There were employees who did try to do good work, even though the pricing could not be fixed. I'll tell you, the guys working in your homes were innocent. They only wanted to make a living. The assistants had the tasks of trying to keep customers happy for 10-12 bucks an hour, never any hopes for raises. The guys who done you are the ones in the suit and ties, the corporate office people. They also shut down the factory in Omaha with no notice. You should know that if you see an ex-employee on the street that they were used also. I've encountered so many upset customers it's a wonder I was never shot to death, sometimes it was close. I've been cussed and even bitten, you'd swear I stole from them, not so. I learned so much I lost sleep. These guys deserve to be in prison is my thought. I want to say so much more that I know, but legally I can't. Heresay that I know is true. Can't prove it. I do care about people, maybe that's why I suffer financially, I give all I have to others in need for a place in heaven hopefully. Don't worry about the products, especially the fiberglass windows, they are effective, very well constructed to last, they just ripped people off price wise though. I did and still do believe in the products if installed properly. Don't play games with the hired help, they are naive and innocent, by making their day awful, you've done nothing to the evil empire, just kicked the little guy to death. He is there to help, and sometimes they are overwhelmed whether you can tell it or not. Go for the big guys, they are the ones with your money and houses.

We have had a meeting ( the 341 meeting which was continued until March

Pacesetter, a bankrupt, by its former officers, is not presently
processing any w-2 information.
The trustee, did indicate that he would look into the possibility of
trying to have the work done to get w-2s and any 1099's processed.

Subject: The mentally disabled elderly lady.
I have been in the home improvement industry since 1998. I started out as a telemarketer, but have moved on to other sources of marketing, since telemarketing has become so difficult. The story I read is like many others I've heard. I have known many people that worked at Pacesetter in Minneapolis, Minnesota many years ago. The story I read of the mentally disabled lady is unbelievable to me. I know that if my company came across someone like this, we would ask to talk to someone that helps make decisions with the house before accepting any money , or doing any work. I know for a fact that none of my salesmen would have even tried to sell her anything. This is unethical. We are all out to make money in this business, but we should all realise that there are morals involved. We pride ourselves on being honest, and giving our best effort on every job we do. It is the few companies like this that give all of us a bad reputation. From looking at the pictures of the windows installed, I can say that these are what we call a retro-fit window, and would work for most people. However, after seeing the exterior frame I am quite convinced she should have had a full-frame replacement window. It is very clear to me that whoever sold this job, and whoever accepted the sale were only out to make a buck and did not have the homeowners best interest in mind. I would recommend to anyone thinking of hiring any contractor for anything to check with the Better Business Bureau, and get some personal referrals from the company, of jobs you can see and people you can talk to. The # to the Minnesota BBB is 651-699-1111
