HBC Strategies dba/aka HBC Facilities Lake Mary, Florida Nationwide
I left a very decent job to go to HBC in Orlando. The day I was interviewed, and the following day the office was PACKED with people. I was really excited. It was going to be a slight change from what I was doing, but along the same lines, the pay was the same, but the hours were flexible and that appealed to me. So I was going to accept, and then decided that I really didn't want to risk it.
Fast forward a month, and the I grew a set, and decided that I would give it a try. I started Monday (4 days ago). When I got there, there were 2 other people. I asked them both when the other employees would get there, and they laughed. Upon further inquiry, I found out that the 2 days I was there for the interview and the follow up they had hired TEMPS to make the office look good to prospective clients AND employees. Long story short was that FedEx had dropped them as a client (end of 2014, not sure when) and they had to change the name from HBC Facilities to HBC Strategies. Laid everyone off that worked there, and filed bankruptcy as HBC Facilities.
So I thought I would tough it out, and see what was going to become of it, at least until I could call my old boss.Well it was 4 days of sheer hell. Cary (Owner) has his head so far up his own a*s it's not even funny. You should see the string of failed business and destruction behind him.
EVERY 2nd call was from a vendor wanting to get paid, it was pathetic. I was instructed to advise the caller that accounts payable was away from their desk, and to have the person leave a voice mail.
When I asked why we didn't pay our vendors I got this lecture about how 'they are not properly presenting the invoice'. Anytime they explained something, it always sounded as if they were trying to convince themselves, and not me. So I decided today after talking to my partner at lunch that I would quit. I got to my desk typed up the email, and the phone rang, I answered it (and it was of course someone looking for payment) when I hang up, this kid walks up to my desk and told me my services were no longer needed. I asked him flat out," were you monitoring my email?" and he said yes. I knew that was it because I still had it open as a draft, didn't even get a chance to send it.
I was at the same place for 5 years, and I will be right back there Monday. Thank God for small family run businesses.
To the people looking to obtain payment, I would try these numbers and emails:
I'm the bookkeeper for a small electric company and we are currently owed over $3500 by these jerks. We did the first couple of jobs and they paid and once they had us "hooked" they stopped paying. We did 7-8 various electrical jobs for them and when I started calling for payment it was one excuse after another. I talked to Jace a number of times and he was so uncomfortable with his lies that he would laugh when answering me about payment.
We hired a collection agency to help us collect the debt and they were unable to help us. We were going to sue them but we were advised against it- not sure why- but probably because they would NEVER pay us.
Run the other direction as fast as you can.
And for the person (human resources) rebutting the employee- if you really are HR, shame on you. Even if what you say is true it is unethical for you to say such things.
I had completed 51 jobs for HBC which they so conviently stopped paying a few months before they lost the contract with fedex. They sent dwindling payments up until the end of May to appear like they were paying then they were given a notice of termination 30 days in advance from the date only I give me more service orders knowing they couldn't pay. I was kept in the dark and when it was to late found out what had happened. 3 years or building a relationship doing a lot of fedex work down the drain. These guys are liars and thieves. It's pathetic they still are operating out there and wiggle thier way into work. I have read numerous stories just like mine and have been contacted by a recently ripped off vendor.

Hbc uses their impressive facility and staff to sell large scale maintenance projects. They hire honest vendors to complete the work and fail to pay the vendor. The vendor is forced to lien the property and depending on the state, the property owner will have to pay again for the same service. There is a reason hbc uses 4 company names. Be aware that the impressive advertising campaign and costly trade show booth was paid for by the rip-off of the previous hbc company. If you use hbc be prepared for the vendor to be at your door for payment.
