Very upset to have to leave such a bad review. My 15 year old daughter, just quit working for Elite Pool Maintenance due to David Sutherland,turns out he is the owner. He is extremely out of control with his anger issues. He falsely accused my daughter of something and when she tried to explain became very argumentative and said that he would need to speak with her mother. Just so happens that I was in the car, when I went inside, David introduced himself to me and said do you want to see what your daughter is up to and then proceeded to hand me an email that explains that my daughter is a good kid and a hard worker, but that there is a boy that is near her at times. When I read the email, I simply said "Oh, what is the problem?" David then became completely enraged, to the point of practically coming over the counter, waving his finger in my daughters and my face, shaking uncontrollably. I felt very uncomfortable to what he was going to do next, his threatening demeanor was so out of control that I actually had to take a few steps backwards as I was unsure what his next actions were going to be, my daughter at that point walked away and went to the car crying. I had to tell David that he was not welcome to talk to me in such a tone or act the way he was to me or my daughter. David then began to make up things about my daughter to try and justify his actions. Well no matter what my daughter did or did not do, I can tell you that no one deserves to be treated with such disrespect as we were.
Elite Pool Maintenance was also over working my 15 year daughter, she had to work over 52 hours in 1 week, she was forced to work double shifts, meaning a 9am to 10pm work day. When this situation was brought to her manager attention, Whitney, she became very angry and said that she was just trying to be the best manager that she could be. I then called the office and complained about all the long hours, they said they would take care of it.
This company is very unorganized, they change there protocol for the pool attendants almost daily, so hard to keep up.
Just this week they actually told the pool attendants that they DID NOT have to get everyone out of the pool when they hear thunder, that it was not dangerous and to let them keep swimming. According to NOAA, The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration,
Thunder is the sound caused by a nearby flash of lightning and can be heard for a distance of only about 10 miles from the lightning strike. The sound of thunder should serve as a warning to anyone outside that they are within striking distance of the storm and need to get to a safe place immediately!
We should all treat each other with respect, anyone that gets that out of control and angry is clearly unstable and should not be in charge of people.
It is very disappointing that she had to quit her first job, she is a hard worker, always did what was asked of her, this was supposed to be a great first job, but I will not allow her to work for such an abusive man nor will she put up with it. read more
