The Allergy Center

I worked for Steven Johnathon Van horn when I was 17 years old. i was his top surveyer. The payroll checks I received were fraugelent and he would never pay my bank fees for the checks bouncing. I recently went back to work for him in may of 2008 and again I was his top surveyer. Again my checks bounced but this time he paid my bank fee. I am posting this for all patriot home defense system distrubutors. He is a horrible bussiness man. Very un professional. he currently is trying to terminate me for "fake work" and in all actuallity my work was no fake just no completley finished. When you work from a phone room it is only common sense that you will get hung up on. Well John is the kind of person that if your numbers are low you will hear it from him and he will make you feel very bad about yourself. What had happened was my manager told me that if someone gets halfway through my survey and hangs up to go ahead and write out the rest of it and count it on my time sheet. When the appointment setters went to make and appointment with these people they were told they were not interested or they did not do the survey or did not remember it. Therefore making John think I was completley making surveys up. Which is completley un true. Not only is he business a rip off he is not and honest person himself. His employees are continuously given bad checks and he lies to his customers. The gift certificate he is suppose to give you when you view the patriot is real but if you do not buy it you will never see that certificate. I am very upset because he is refusing to pay me for the work I did do and verbally assaulted me not only on the phone but in person too. I refused to sign anything without being paid out and that cost me my dignity. I had to stand there and hear him call me very discusting names. I am not making a complaint against Steve Souders because i know his company is called the Allergy Center too. So steve if you're reading this I would love to talk to you and see what your opinion is on the situation. I am not making this complaint against any of the employees either. I really do believe in what the patriot does. i think it's and incredible machine and would love to be a part of it again. I just want to work for an employer who does not discriminate against his employees and works in a professional manner.

I was recently contacted by "Valley Research in Clovis" which I found out through Google searches, is the cover name that "The Allergy Store" uses when making these phone calls. I am reporting this company to the better business bureau because I am on the Do Not Call list and this was not a research company, but a sales call. The number i recieved the call from was 559-299-0051 . If you recieve a phone call from this number, BEWARE!

I just recently was hired by John Vanhorn about a week ago. I felt like he was one of the most rude people I have ever meet. I was told the position was for a customer service desk person (basically doing desk work and paper work and answering a few phone calls). Well not until the second day of training was it that I found out that I was goin to be driving around to peoples houses showing the product. He lied about the positon. So I told myself to just try it out, I mean it sounded like great money. But when I went out on my first appointment the couple practically shut the door in my face, and then my second appointment didnt even know I was coming. So I said screw it. John Vanhorn is a terrible business man, he is rude, he doesnt speak to his employees properly, and I believe that everything within his business will end up being a scam. Everything you get paid is under the table, and you only get paid once a month if you dont make a lot of sales, which means he wants you to drive all around town and waste your gas for him to "maybe" get a sale. And if you dont get the right amount of sales, you dont get paid. ITS NOT WORTH YOUR TIME!!!
