    The only ones that are getting scammed by Manhattan Fire and Safety are its employees. Stay far away from this place! The compensation is disproportionate to the effort. You will only ever take home $****** a week. He will pay you 5.00 an hour, lend you the ***** hour = ***** hour and you owe it to him. This keeps him in compliance with New York's ***** per hour minimum wage law that he clearly states during the first interview is the ONLY reason why he does this. You will devote 60 hours a week - from the time you wake up for work until the time that you get home, to this company for ****** a week...that's all! Your life is effectively gone! Any opportunities that you might have pursued to advance your life and earn more money...GONE. You will be allowed three days off per quarter, three tardies and one early leave. If you take one more of any of those, you face a ten-day unpaid suspension, so you had better not have any emergencies in your life - no side gigs, no auditions, no working the polls on Election Day etc. You will spend your Saturday recovering and your Sunday preparing for another week of torture and humiliation. This company's ad is posted under talent on ********** as Inside Sales Position. If you have talent and are pursuing a career in music, acting etc...say goodbye to that. The chairs are unsafe. When I told him that the chair was going to put me in a wheelchair, he told me to let him know when I need it and he will buy me a nice brand new wheelchair. When I acquired a chair that would save me from injury, he gave me grief about it. When I wanted to talk to him about it, I was told that his time was very valuable. I am now permanently disabled after a year and a half of sitting in it and he didn't care. After he fired me because I stood up to his bullying, I can't even collect unemployment...and guess what...I can't work either. Say goodbye to whatever you had going on in your life. This place will destroy your life!

    It is unfortunate that this disgruntled employee took the time to attempt to slander our company. We have been the leader in providing ************************* to the *** area for over 40 years. It is upsetting to hear how someone who worked for us for such a short period of time can be so malicious. Most of our employees have been with us for over 10 Years and have had successful careers in both ****************** as well as support technicians. We have recently had a major management change, as well as significant changes to our dispatching and account systems which have proven to be very effective to our customer and employee satisfaction. We continue to strive to provide top notch service to our customers while maintaining a healthy and happy work environment for our employees.
