"Can always find a paying job with them…"

Can always find a paying job with them and the wide variety of job types that I accept always keeps me on my toes

"The work orders they provide are…"

The work orders they provide are straight forward and there is no guessing game about the scope or the pay and I know that materials won't be an issue.

"This is a cash grab scam"

This is a cash grab scam on independent contractors. Initially, it's free to start. You just need your own tools and transportation. Your application / background check gets approved way too quickly to be legit. Then, before you can proceed to "training", you have to buy a crap t-shirt and badge that they call a uniform. After the training videos, you can schedule an over the phone test or pay for the open-book certification. Scheduling the over the phone test turns into you need contractor's insurance to take the test, which they offer at $39 for 3 months with reoccurring fees.

If you ask to cancel the uniform before it even ships you will get "we cannot cancel it but if you prefer we cannot ship it at your request till your ready or ship it to an alterantive location", "we do not offer refunds. we can hold your order till your ready or ship it to someone else". One rep even suggested that I sell my ID badge and 'uniform' to someone else! Like it's a curse that I could get rid of by passing it on to someone else!

And don't try to dispute a charge that you tried to cancel or you'll get, "we will then use your social and file a debts against your credit report lowering your credit score... We will then tack on a $200 dispute fee and send this to collections
We will also file a police report against the information you provided (in your application)"

The general consensus of their customer service reps on not refunding is "...since it would come out of the employees salary who issued the refund
and the dispute would come out of the salary of the last employee you talked to
this place sucks."

"It's a scam to sell T-shirts to people…"

It's a scam to sell T-shirts to people desperate looking for jobs. I paid 50 bucks for the shirt which is required. Then they have you schedule a test to take from watching these bootleg videos. And it's not like you pick a time that's convenient they just give you a time that you're supposed to call them. The time they gave me was 4:30 in the afternoon right when I'm picking my kids up. So you can pay 20 bucks to take a test written instead of over the phone and then you pay the 20 bucks to take the test and it's 50 questions in 3 minutes. And the questions have obvious wrong answers like how do you upkeep and maintain your appliances correct answer for them was yes. Yes is not the right answer to that question I have screenshots of this complete nonsense. These people are taking advantage of folks who need jobs and they should be arrested.

"Waste of money"

EarthCare (aka Rent a Tech) in Orlando is a scam, do not do business with them!

I contacted them to install a new water heater and was instructed to send a cash payment of $150 to schedule the job. They gave me an 11 to 1 timeslot on 12/26. I waited until 5 PM and no one showed up or called. I called them and they rescheduled the job for 12/30 from 9 to 11. I waited until 4 PM and again a no-show. They offed to reschedule yet a third time but I declined as I had to drive 2-1/2 hours each way to the location.

They said they would give me a credit but not refund my payment. Given that they twice failed to do the job I declined.

It was at this point that the representative explained that they are not a plumber, rather they are middle men who subcontract all their services.

I sent them an email with all the facts asking for my money back. I asked for a response within 2 business days and a check within 10 days.

I have neither heard from them nor gotten my money back. Earthcare/Rentatech are a scam, unreliable and insensitive to customers’ situations.

What a waste of $150

"Stay away from this company if you’re…"

Stay away from this company if you’re looking to work as a handyman they’re just trying to get your money in different ways. Selling a classes or subscription. Don’t waste your time

"Its a joke"

Its a joke. You have to buy thier badges, shirts and insurance b4 your hired then they expect you to watch 10 videos and memorize them and take a 10 question test with multuple answers to the ?s. One question is a 10 answer question b4 you can start work. This goes on for months.

"These are scammers"

These are scammers. Not a real company. They prefer cash app instead of the credit card so you can really get screwed! The rep behind the phone started laughing when asked for my money back. These people will be put in a grave real soon!

"Do not work for this company make you…"

Do not work for this company make you pay up front for their shirts and badge before being hired $56 and tell you that you wont have to pay for leads but if you want first shot at jobs is 19.99 a month requested refund in email no response when called was hung up on twice last guy told me to file complaint with new president since he didnt like their company go figure but also to go their facebook testimonies all are reading a script and i wouldnt hire some of these to change a lightbulb
