well, better base your opinions on documented facts. and there's nothing wrong in being positive, but when the **** hits the fan and you're still grinning from ear to ear while covered in excrement, that's not being positive. that's being dumb.

Why would they offer a settlement and pay my friend backwages if they did not ILLEGALLY fire her?

:rolleyes: :p :D

Three months after, they were begging us that we take them back even if they have to go back to probationary status.

I am not isinuating anything. It may/may not be a scam. But certainly our former employees never liked what they saw after their three-month epixtar experience.

be the judge...

hi jareth... anymore updates? just wondering where are the 3 stooges...:rolleyes:

[manila]

if your considering me to be one of the 3 stooges, well, here i am.. sorry everyone, i work for a living and have very little time to come in here every singly day and post negative comments about Epixtar. I have a...ummm what do you call it.... a LIFE.

There is no need for me to post my feelings of Epixtar, it's pretty obvious on how I feel they are, without a doubt, a great company.

you are not associated w/ Epixtar so quite honestly, your opinion means very little to me.

you also do not contribute to our on-going successful revenue.. your opinions sure is not hurting us financially..

we are doing just as good as before.

people that work for Epixtar are truely the only people who know how great of a company it is.

oh, i should include our investors too huh?

i know how well Epixtar takes care of me... can you say the same for your call center??

btw, free food and water guys does not count as your company taking care of you hehe...

[manila]

Jareth (Sean Santa Maria) (A FORMER EMPLOYEE OF EPIXTAR WHO WAS LAID OFF),

your girlfriend (GRACE AQUINO), deserved to be let go just like you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sean Santa Maria, I remember you very well. No wonder why you are so bitter with Epixtar.

THE TRUTH: JARETH = SEAN SANTA MARIA, WHO WAS LAID OFF (WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND) FROM EPIXTAR.

A FORMER EMPLOYEE WITH EPIXTAR..HMMM

YOU REALLY SHOULD COVER YOUR TRACKS A LITTLE BIT BETTER!!!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[TiNyCuTiE]

sa lahat ng call centers..this one parang ayoko talagang pasukin...kasi rip-off ng i-call...walang nangyari nung i-call pa sila what more if now? saka sabi ng mga ofcmates ko wala daw wenta eh...pramis

[Pin@tubo]

oh no! i was just making fun of jareth being a disgruntled ex-employee of Epixtar... this is really hilarious!!! wahahaha!!!

seriously, i hope no one from Asia-Secure Consulting is reading this and sees the names mentioned above. their names may be included in the operation apple cart, a place for rotten apples (in their case, for bad-mouthing their former company). if a call center participates in this operation and sees your name in the blacklist, you can say bye-bye to your call center career. careful guys!

[manila]

LOL ur funny pin... but, he deserves it.

[feeline]

This will be my last post cause this forum is really none of my business, apparently Jareth you dont read my posts properly, I never once asked about Epixtar please learn to read or I will be forced to put you in place. Please dont push, Ive stayed civil with both sides here :)

TiNyCuTiE... Epixtar is not I-call.. It is totally different, I-Call made mistakes but not as big as people tend to say they did.

[woulfe27]

why don't we just all wait for the FTC ruling on the cases it filed against Epixtar, then we'll know whether or not the company perpetrated all those scams.

and why narrow down your career choices to the call center industry? there are lots more challenging and financially rewarding jobs in other industries (publishing, software, hardware, data conversion, etc.)

Wonder why they all look the same???? Hmmm...... because they are all EPIXTAR products renamed. Also try to use the search tool that they have, you might find it interesting because some of the listings are in all three yellow pages. So that would be 29.95 * 3 = 89.85 per month for service that they dont even know about, poor companies.....:(

for someone who claims that he/she is not an epixtar stooge- you sure know a lot

and for someone who just recently registered here in PEx- you "just happened" to stumble into this thread (not forum, FYI) and out of your inherrent "good nature" rave and defend Epixtar?

Good morning Jareth! Inaabangan ko post mo eh, mejo kakaiba ata ngayong umaga.

[Jareth]

:D tuloy pa rin ang laban Mr/Ms Pin@tubo :)

[EQMI]

Just recently, Epixtar, a new call center here in the Philippines
has been making waves- through an aggressive PR and recruitment
campaign.

What bothers me is, the people from the DTI apparently did not do
their homework.

Epixtar is currently under investigation in the US for a practice
called "cramming".

Epixtar calls small business owners in the US selling services like
Internet yellow pages, which show up as additions to the customers'
business' telephone bill. Many times, unauthorized charges on the
consumers' phone bill go unnoticed. Even when the victim does
notice the charges, they have to fight to get even partial credit
back. The unauthorized charges are known as "cramming".

The sad part is- right now, most applicants in the Philippines are
not aware of the nature of this company's business.

Last March, INQ7 featured an article about the "illegal" dismissal
of some of the company's employees.

Soon after the article was released- to minimize any bad publicity-
they allegedly "recalled" some of the employees (the number who
accepted was never disclosed).

If you do a web search (via google for example) Epixtar's scam
practices, and the cases filed against them by the FTC, will be
shown.

Just recently, they have changed CEOs- to "clean" up their image-
and for additional damage control.

Epixtar was established in 1994 under the name Pasta Bella to act as
a holding company to acquire other businesses.

The name was changed twice, first in 1997 to Global AssetHoldings,
Inc. and again in 2002 to Epixtar Corporation.

In November 2000, the Company bought a majority stake (80%) in
SavOnCalling.com. SavOnCalling marketed and sold telecommunications
services on a resale basis.

In March 2001, the Company acquired National Online Services, a
provider of Internet related services for smallbusiness subscribers.

This subsidiary uses independent telemarketers for its business
marketing efforts.

With all the advertising dollars, buildout dollars, investment
dollars they've been pouring into the economy, it could be a good
thing for our country, generating jobs and income.

However, is this still good if the business is built on the gains
from unethical practices?

[Pin@tubo]

Hey, there's an existing thread for this already. And it's always on first page, thanks to Jareth and manila. Gosh!

[pinayraine]

:D parang may sabong lagi dito sa epixtar thread... Jareth vs manila... and mga members ng group ever supportive... Saan kayo sa pula o sa puti? hehehe! Kay Jareth, hanga ako sa mga post mo... ang tapang mo dre! Ang galing mo sa investigation... pwede bang magpa investigate sayo about people working in epixtar? joke lang po. Post lang ng post para naman marami ang makapag muni-muni tungkol sa call center na ito. lol:D

[phoenixxmanila]

EQMI, the call center industry is not being regulated by the DTI, unfortunately. Being a new IT indistry, call centers may choose to register under the Board of Investments (BOI) or the Philippine Economic Convergence Zone (PEZA) and that's it...no regulating body to "police" the cc industry. There are some organizations that encourages its members to play fair and well but that surely isnt enough, whadyathink?

All this has been good entertainment, if you ask me.

I was once with Epixtar and i found it to be a great learning experience. Many employees have good work ethics and are actually brilliant, but of course, being a start-up company, theyve had their ups and downs. I know for a fact that this company will be a big player in the industry, sooner or later, no doubt about that. It aint a perfect company but...what is? :)

If jareth is indeed who manila thinks he is, i know him. He's a great guy. His girlfriend is a lovely girl and should not have been mentioned here since she didnt join the forum...naughty boy, manila ;)

Peace. :D

[Pin@tubo]

diba yung girlfriend nya several times din nag post dito? check the first few pages.

[phoenixxmanila]

Oh..whoopsie..:*) ....

[manila]

my appoligies for mentioning his girlfriend, uncalled for. yes, i agree that he is a nice guy, but this doesn't account for his strong desire to see Epixtar fail. he is entitled to his own opinion. he will soon see his own opion has failed to pull through.

[Pin@tubo]

Split personality? daming pexers na ganito dito (lalo na sa LCM, hehehe!) peace!

why laid off!? ask them the reason why! because theyre too good to be part of epixtar. Ive got a lot of friends who are very successful now. laid off you know the reason why-- coz of no budget! thats why icall merged with epixtar. the people who were laid off by that company are now supervisors/ or trainors in convergys/sykes/and other better call center.

the people they threw-- ask who are those people-- theyre the top agents of icall! ask them! ask debbie or titos if u want! hindi basta basta yang mga inalis nila! the company didnt plan to give the last pay of those people na naalis haha akala nila mga stupid *** mga inalis nila.. epixtar banned them coz natakot sila sa threat that IMBETIGADOR and the government will sue for their actions! tsk tsk tsk! epixtar- the only call center na iisa o 2 accounts lang nageexist. one of the new employees there sobrang saya nya coz of his low work loads! wala daw kasi nagaaply sa epix masyado.:D

ang lakas ng loob nila magbukas ng isa pang branch sa libis. dapat they should take care of their first branch muna.

[phoenixxmanila]

Hi. Just to set the records straight, they were not laid off, they were just a part of the group that was put on forced leave. They did not commit any offense as far as i know and perhaps were even called back (cuz Epix started recalling people months ago).

Yes, many of the people who were asked to go on forced leave are in good/ better places, a handfull accepted the offer to return to the company. Turned out there is a rainbow after the rain for many after all.

But it was not an easy decision to make for the Epix Management at that time as well, that much i know. It was a sad, drastic move that management tried to avoid. Twas a situation they had to react to, and at that time perhaps Epix management felt that that was the correct thing to do.

If i am correct, the Imbestigador issue was with another situation, another group of former employees, many of them from iCall. There was no clear information about the severance pay and all, whether they will be receiving it, where and how. To avoid the confrontation, they were banned from the building, something that triggered the ire of the former employees. How will they follow up on their back pay and tax refunds etc nga naman if they are not allowed in the building?

But this has been settled already, i heard. iCall paid back the severance of it's former employees late 2003.

Just sharing ..

:) :)

hmmm what do you mean the imbestigador issue was with another situation?its not only about sev pay. its all bout the time they were laid off or okey fine, forced resig. --- about this forced resig. the proper way -- it should be at least a month before notice ayt, but they never did! in one snap they called names and asked these people to follow them in the room just to tell them that they dont need to go to the office anymore! yeah right! thats abide the rule. 2nd, the sev pay, they weren't sure yet that theyre goin to give those peeps their sev pay. so those peep planned to go to DOLE and contacted their lawyers and even gma and abs cbn. Thats the time the former ICALL now epixtar mgt banned those peeps on their premises because theyre afraid to face those issues- tsk tsk. So they decided to give a letter stating that within a specific date, if theyre not able to give the deserving amount they must receive, thats the time lawyers and media will make their moves.

about the sev pay-- yeah right they gave it already. but duh, with deduction of SSS and other tax? as if those employees paid for their SSS benefits, they didnt even have a medicard! and law states that they should give the amount what stated in their contract.

Ex- the contract is like running for 6 mos. but what happened was, they were kicked after a month without early notice! well its not the employees fault and the employer shall be obliged to pay the whole 6 mos knowin that its in the contract. but these young individuals moved on with their life and lift everything to God. See, now theyre successful and epixtar is still nothing in the Call Center Industry.:rolleyes:

[manila]

nothing?? hahaha! there are few centers here in manila who has what it takes to survive and the amount of money that Epixtar has.

anne,

has YOUR company gone public yet? (public as in trading).

Nope, didn't think so. Epixtar has the vision and the most intricate strategy of any call center in the philippines.

quite honestly, the negitivity of people like you make no difference to Epixtar's future or success.

you might not like that Epixtar is here, however you will need to accept it. it is here to stay.

Why would Epixtar come to the philippines full on force if it were not to succeed?

placing millions and millions into the philippines for a trial and error business would be nothing but dumb.

Epixtar is extremely stable and will be here for many years to come. now has the company made errors in the past?? i'm not going to say they haven't, i'm sure the company has learnt how to prevent any future ones from occurring.

Let me know the names of YOUR call center guys..... i'm sure they are not all error free.

[anne_373]

well good luck to epixtar. for its almost a year of existence.. 2 lang account.. and i guess local pa *** isa and for the first few mos nag pull out na *** isang account-- well i wish theyll succeed. with that kind of record.. oh well they need a miracle.

they came to pinas late last year because they got scam to fix in US. its not only me who knew bout this.

and i didnt say that i dont like epixtar's existence. but i dont like them fooling peeps! making promises like youre gonna have one floor in insular life building for your break area. duh, till now its still the same working area.. my point here. they should fix insular life first before opening another site

[Ernestina]

puro outbound calls lang ba epixtar?

[manila]

anne_373, so you work for epixtar???

[anne_373]

working worked i dunno! haha.. well, i dont regret being a part of epixtar coz they taught me a lot of things. to be more independent and not to trust those words so easily not unless youve got a contract with you for your security. despite of those shams and druggeries, the bonding of the agents were great and its very challenging to work with them.. but life has to go on and i stepped on the next level of my career path*wink*.

[manila]

yes, it's somewhat strict. quality is priority at Epixtar.

Epixtar to Acquire $20 Million Call Center Company
July 13, 2004 09:53:00 AM ET


Deal to Add 1 Philippine and 3 U.S. Locations

MIAMI, July 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Epixtar Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: EPXR) announced it had entered a Definitive Letter of Intent (LOI) to acquire 100% of the shares of Innovative Marketing Strategies, Inc. (IMS) of Leawood, Kansas and 100% of the shares of IMS Philippine subsidiary, Innovative Marketing Strategies International, Inc. (IMS Asia). IMS has call centers in Wheeling, West Virginia; Duluth, Minnesota; and Pittsburg, Kansas. IMS Asia is located in the Makati area of Metropolitan Manila. Epixtar will pay $14.4 Million for the privately held IMS in a combination of cash and stock and has already advanced IMS some cash to discharge certain IMS liabilities prior to closing, anticipated to occur in August 2004. IMS has reported 2003 revenues of approximately $20 Million while Epixtar's revenues for the same period were about $36 Million.

Epixtar is a leader in the trend to locate business process outsourcing and call center operations to the Philippines, where a highly educated, English-speaking workforce is available at a fraction of the cost of their U.S. competitors. The historical affinity between the United States and the Philippines assures a familiarity with U.S. culture that equates to higher levels of customer satisfaction when compared to other offshore locations such as India or the Caribbean. Additionally, as a former U.S. colony and staunch ally of the United States, the Philippines is rarely the subject of public backlash against offshore outsourcing.

IMS has been a force in the U.S. telemarketing industry since its founding in 1996, delivering exceptional results to the Fortune 500 and enterprise clients recognized within the financial services, telecommunications, and publishing industries. "It's all about execution in the outsourcing business," said Brad Yeater, president of IMS and newly appointed executive vice president for operations at Epixtar. "We intend to bring our time-tested methodology to Epixtar's formidable operations in the Philippines; we know what makes telemarketing campaigns succeed for our clients."

Epixtar has been building call center operations in the Philippines since last year. To date the Company has successfully completed the acquisition of I-Call Global Services, Corp. assets and expanded that company's former location in Alabang (a Manila suburb) to approximately 250 seats. The Company is developing its 1,600 seat regional headquarters in Eastwood City CyberPark (Libis, metro-Manila); 350 seats are fully operational in Eastwood with another 700 coming on line in August. Final completion of Epixtar House is scheduled for November 2004. The Company is also developing a call center in Dumaguete, a central Philippine city to the south of Manila. The Company plans to continue its expansion in the Philippines and hopes to be operating at least 5,000 seats by the end of 2005.

"This acquisition conforms to Epixtar's intent to grow rapidly in line with our clients' requirements for quality, cost-effective solutions, and reliable on-shore and offshore capacity. This gives the IMS client base an option to lower costs without sacrificing performance," said David Srour, chief executive officer of Epixtar Corp. "Integrating IMS' professional management team, thorough understanding of telesales requirements, and track record of delivery bode well for Epixtar's future growth."

"Our decision to join Epixtar not only indicates our confidence in their vision for the future of the industry, but affirms our certainty that the Philippines is a desirable complement to our domestic operations," said Steve Rasmussen, chief executive officer of IMS. "The combination of Epixtar's experience in the Philippines and our history of exceeding clients' performance expectations, create an entity that is greater than the sum of it parts".

Completion of the transaction is subject to, among other things, further due diligence, the receipt of certified financial statements and the approval of the Epixtar Board of Directors.

[manila]

so Epixtar is doing pretty well huh???

so the rumors are true...galing ako ng ims (actually i'm still from ims) hehe...so di ko na kailangang lumipat ng epixtar kasi magme-merge na pala? (kasi my friends from my previous co. are there now) what i know is that within 2 months ata we'll be moving at libis from makati and live in the same roof with them...well that's a good move for epixtar knowing that ims is well-known for quality or whatsoever...hehehehe

let me give you some history about ims...they were created in 1996, they've been here for several years now. they first merged with air relay corp. which is a call center in libis and then early 2004, they made their own call center. if ims asia will be merged with epixtar i think there's something wrong with ims (and i don't want to disclose why....baka may makakilala pa sa akin **! hehehe)

[manila]

tinycutie,

you will love working in the libis office. you will soon find out how well Epixtar takes care of it's people. i mean that with all sincerity. whatever your initial feeling on Epixtar, they will soon change. you are about to be provided with one of your best call center experiences.

best of luck...

Have you just stepped out of college? Are you looking for a job that’s somewhat different? If your answer is yes to both questions, then there’s a company I would like you to meet: Epixtar. Relatively new in the country, Epixtar originated in California and has since expanded its call center operations in India and the Philippines.

Their mission is simple: "Surpassing the ordinary in scope – an entity whose leadership role is superior." Epixtar is determined to make its presence known in the Philippines. More importantly, they’re here for the long haul, providing more Filipinos with jobs in the process. But at the outset, Epixtar was simply outsourcing for other call center companies such as E-Telecare. Realizing that they have what it takes to put up one of their own here, Epixtar set up its first operations in the country with only some 20 to 30 people. Today, it’s got about 300 employees and counting. More, the company now boasts having two offices – one in Eastwood, Libis and the other in Alabang.

It’s hard to miss Epixtar’s main office building in Eastwood, Libis. For one, there’s the big Epixtar ad that greets you even before you enter Eastwood. Once there, you simply look for the majestic gray building beside Citibank and you know you’re in the right place. Still under construction, the office, I must say, looks quite impressive. The color purple can be seen all over the place that’s simply modern and sophisticated. Even more impressive are the office plans. They’re opening an enrichment floor where all the training would take place. On that floor will be a game room that sales executives (call center agents) can use during their free time. As for its valued customers, Epixtar is putting up a luxurious penthouse on its 12th floor. When completed, the said floor will resemble a mini-hotel where guests can relax while getting his/her business done. Aside from bedrooms, the floor will also have a meeting room where guests can enjoy the audio-visual facilities. On the same floor will be an entertainment room, which promises to be a haven for those who want to take a break from work. Indeed, Epixtar knows how to treat both its customers and employees right. Fact is, Epixtar newcomers who start out as sales executives not only earn a good 50-60 percent more than the minimum wage, they also get to enjoy certain allowances such as a clothing and laundry allowance.

So, are you interested to join the Epixtar team? Well, they only require one thing: English proficiency. You need not speak perfect English, though, since Epixtar has a very efficient training staff who can help you overcome speech defects and polish your English. Training consists of the induction training for new hires, accent training and product training. On top of these, the newcomer will be given lessons on US culture and geography, and equipped with some selling skills as well. After that, you’re all set to become a sales executive. Quite simple, isn’t it? What’s more, you don’t need any appointment. Simply walk in with your resume and Epixtar’s dedicated Career Center will be happy to entertain you.

Yep, you heard me right. Epixtar has a Career Center to attend to prospective employees. As Joann Hizon, vice president for human resources, explains, "It’s like one is shopping for a job. Currently being constructed, the said facility will have computers set up by the entrance, which will serve as one’s first stop. Through these computers, prospective employees will be able to know more about the company. From there, you’re led to the lounge where you’ll be asked to fill up some forms. Finally, you will be met by Epixtar representatives for an interview. Once accepted, training sessions will immediately begin.

The name Epixtar now rings a bell and chief marketing officer Harry Broward Fozzard II couldn’t be happier. And he’s happy to talk about Epixtar’s plans for the near future. Apart from operations in Metro Manila, they are also busy setting up in Dumaguete, allowing fresh grads there to stay in their province while earning a fair amount of money. Epixtar is certainly determined to go far, boasting 6,000 to 7,500 employees by next year.

So, what are you waiting for? This might be the job you’ve been dreaming of.



==============================================

i'm a bit confused after reading that article and this thread. 6,000-7,500 employees next year? wow... :eek:

nah.. it's up to you fresh grads out there. pick the right company that suits you! examine their background and all. do an extensive research,ok?!

[TiNyCuTiE]

well, my friends in epixtar told me that freezed na raw ang hiring nila. so sa august lilipat na ims sa libis? nyahahah back in libis again. well. i might say that partnership between ims and epixtar might be benefitted for both of them especially for epixtar because ims is a company that does not do scam (they always lived by the rules) and thats it.

[manila]

5th call center has been purchased in clark. lose track of all of them tiny? 300 employees is not true. that report must have came from an idiot.

[manila]

No b2b, no NOL. only nearly 3000 seats waiting to be filled by fortune 500 company accounts. Obviously, Epixtar is doing something right, due to rapid growth and expansion. Ironic how Epixtar will soon be one of the top three leading call centers here huh?

Hi.

Can I ask you a question?

What do you do? Are you a trainer? HR? Team Leader? Just curious.

[cybernaut]

soft sell lang ba outbound dito? o hard sell

[TiNyCuTiE]

hard sell i think. pero may survey pa rin ata.

i've asked the old employees of epixtar who chose to stay in the company despite the scams blah blah or whatever. they said those rumors about epixtar is NOT true. d sila nalugi. yung nol dun ata sila nagkaproblema. and they are still happy they're still employees at epixtar. like my friend who is also an employee there sobrang sarap daw ng benefits. like the incentives and some privileges. happy talaga sya d nagsisisi kung bakit umalis sa dati naming company.

hey manila. are you a trainer, sales assoc., team leader or the owner of epixtar? (joke)

[aina_crazy_girl]

^ what's the difference between hard sell and soft sell?

[TiNyCuTiE]

hard sell: yung benta talaga tulad ng credit cards, membership cards, anything that involves selling

soft sell: mga surveys

[Bea19]

baka may openings po dito for product trainer?

[manila]

trainers, yes.... yet product trainers are only promoted from within.

FYI- I'm not a trainer, sales exec, not a TL...
I am simply someone who believes in the company, and someone who has experienced something great with Epixtar for the last three years.

[Jareth]

The new HR Head of Epixtar (Joan Hizon) used to be part of TSI, the distributor arm of SMART Communications. The rumor is, she had an argument/gap with the HR Head of SMART, which is Annette Santiago.

I just found out that there's a new Recruitment Manager at Epixtar, pero I doubt kung magtatagal sya coz she has this reputation of jumping from one company to another. Alam ko galing na siya ng Thomson, tpos Canon, tapos Etelecare, etc. etc.

[Jareth]

BTW- this just in from my little bubwit...

"Based on inquiries we made, both over the phone and through the online database of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC),
there is no "Epixtar Corporation" registered with them.

However, a certain "Epixtar International Contact Center (Philippines), Inc." is reserved as a corporate name through SEC's name reservation facility in its website (www.sec.gov.ph). Said reservation still has to be translated into the actual filing of application for registration with SEC.

As such, "Epixtar" is still legally non-existent here in the Philippines."

DEAR JARETH,

YOU SHOULD REALLY DO YOUR HOMEWORK BEFORE YOU POST IDIOTIC STATEMENTS...

Please review the following Mission Statement of the Philippine SEC from the main page which you reference…



MISSION



We shall actively promote the development of a globally competitive Philippine capital market , effectively regulate and monitor its operations, and widely disseminate reliable information for the protection of the investing public.



Do you or your “little bubwit” even understand what a “capital market is or what the SEC regulates? Do you have a business degree? Did you ever take a college Finance course? Obviously not, or you never would have made that stupid post!



According to dictionary.com – a capital market is defined as “ The market for long-term funds where securities such as common stock, preferred stock, and bonds are traded. Both the primary market for new issues and the secondary market for existing securities are part of the capital market.”



In other words, it’s the Philippine STOCK EXCHANGE.



HMM, wonder why Epixtar is not registered with the Philippine SEC…. Because Epixtar does not trade its stock on the Philippine Stock Exchange!



Please rest assured that Epixtar is a “legal” entity in the Philippines . We are registered with the BIR and do remit our employees’ withholding taxes. We are registered with the SSS, PHIC, and HDMF government agencies, and do remit our employees’ and employer’s contributions.

[ayu00]

manila is correct on this one...

epixtar is actually a nasdaq listed company, thus its not on Phil stock exchange

Manila, you're wrong here... yes, epixtar can't be found in the Philippine Stock Exchange bec it's not a publicly listed company in the Philippines. But it has to be registered as a corporation the Philippines and must be registered in SEC - Securities and Exchange Commission. All corporation, publicly traded or not, must be registered in SEC. All partnership or sole ownership type of business must be registered with DTI. Pls don't use statements as if degrading someone when you yourself is obviously not knowledgeable enough.

[TiNyCuTiE]

hmm...gives me goosebumps....i dunno since i'm quite associated with epixtar (because of the merger) and have lots of friends in epix, i dunno what will happen next. our management tells us that in time we'll be transferred to libis but we have to do something first.

[Jareth]

:lol:

bat0-bato sa langit :rolleyes:

[Jareth]

hmmm... tumahimik ah...

nagpunta na kaya yung mga taga DTI at SEC? :glee:

[manila]

sorry to tell you folks, I am right on this matter.. unless any of you out there have further proof to back-up your theory.... didn't think so...

[Leif_Erikson]

manila,

I have 6 months experience as a CSA at Etelecare and would like to work in Libis again. At Epixtar. How much is the NET TAKEHOME pay per month (wala nang taxes and other deductions) of a CSA? Is it inbound? Is there a bond?

How about Trainers? I also want to be a Trainer. May bond ba? How much ang NET TAKEHOME pay? I've had it with Makati and want a suburban place like Libis.

[manila]

Although it's not allowed to tell you the exact amount of takehome pay, however I can tell you it's much more than starting pay at etel. there is no binding.. inbound and outbound.. trainers should have prior experience in the training dept at a highly est call center. I respect etel very much, as etel was the first outsourcing client of Epixtar, and what they are all about. I will only go to say that you will enjoy the values, pay, benifits and lifestyle of Epixtar very much.

[Brandon96]

how much is MUCH MORE? legally, as a lawyer, I can tell you that you don't have to give the specific amount, although you may legally give a BALLPARK figure (slightly less than the exact amount), which would not get you in trouble for violating the confidentiality provisions of your work contract. :)

di ba sa tabi kayo ng Citibank? open na ba? walk-in lang?

btw, ru a girl or a boy, Manila?:)

[manila]

Open and walk-ins welcome... designed to fit 1,600 agents.. gameworks games, oxygen bars, massage centers, pool hall, 8 play station 2 rooms... the lifestlye at Epixtar is like none other... kinda like the beach that was discovered in the movie "The Beach". So far 5 Epixtar call centers in the philippines with many more to go... this once-a-time tiny company is making big wave here in the philippines..expanding faster than any other call center has ever in the philippines... sorry, i'm not trying to promote the company, it's just based on facts...

[areUin]

do they accept undergrads?

[Brandon96]

Leif is not really after facilities as he is with the very strategic and convenient Libis location and the amount of NET TAKEHOME pay i can get as a possible Epixtar CSA or Trainer.

not really, i work in the company that provide facts for the call centers of the phils. i've seen their offices & the lifestyle to relax are really really good, nothing like it in any other call centers here. epixtar is ONE of the fastest (that is a fact), but convergys is the fastest. people support is gaining too. when you say fastest, you have to consider the revenues w/c is the base of all metric in all businesses, not just how many seats or jobs the compny can provide & the benefits/salaries they can offer. but the stand point in other business jargons that most employees dont see everyday

[manila]

you have a very valid point... i agree... yet, Epixtar is going to be, very soon, running with all the big dog call centers... yes Jareth, it's true...! also, that's based on fact

[Jareth]

:glee: someone here sounds like a sell-a-vision commercial :lol:

[sharingan]

@manila

is it true that epixtar will be having a center in pasay?

[Brandon96]

manila,

tell me the NET TAKEHOME pay for a CSA at Epixtar who has had 6 months CSA experience elsewhere, and also for a Trainer. ano ang requirements for Epixtar trainers in Language and American Cult and Geog? May bond ba?

[Jareth]

hehe... may nagogoyo pa pala ang scam na ito :glee:

[Brandon96]

OK lang basta may pera, hehehe! Sa interviews naman eh, maaamoy mo naman kung scam o hindi and at the last minute refuse to sign anything. :)

[manila]

guys, please understand that jareth was once a part of Epixtar, however no longer is in our organization. please excuse his ignorance and spitefulness... epixtar will continue to grow regardless of people like him who fail to see the success of Epixtar.

How long does the hiring process in Epixtar take? I applied as a trainer for the company and I already spoke with the Training Manager and the HR Director. Based from our conversation they are eager to hire me. It's almost 2 weeks now and I haven't received any confirmation. Does this mean I didn't make the cut?

[orangef1]

may epixtar sa alabang right? sa may insular life? pwede bang magpasa ng resume dun? Thanks!

[Jareth]

yeah- don't listen to me :p

but listen to what the Federal Trade Commission has to say about this scam :glee:

FTC Acts Against Alleged Web Cramming Operation (http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2003/11/epixtar.htm)

Alleged phone crammer sued by FTC (http://msnbc.msn.com/id/3341681/)

guys- please excuse manila for thehardsell tactics, the hyped up misinformation drive cannot cover up the fact that, no matter what, epxtar is still a SCAM :lol:

[anne_373]

quessi-- sorry out of the topic.. i wonder kung anong call center *** between the apac and convergys in filinvest-- nortgate aabang?


manila- i guess every call center got that kind of break room.. etelecare got a lazy boy in their break room and *ahem* in our company.. we have bed, tv, , beanbags, couch, computers, component. and a shower room as well! by the wya what are the qualifications of a tl sa epix?

[manila]

come apply and you can see for yourself.... jareth, if we are such a scam, why is our business model successful right now??? i don't see many other call centers doing what Epixtar is doing so quickly...

[goldhart]

kelan mag oopen Epixtar kaya dito sa Clark Pampanga? ni ideas?

[sharingan]

my opening ba sa IT dept?

[manila]

IT? YES =o)

salary is...well kinda big...
their agents (known as sales executives) are selling..in short this is an outbound call center.

orangef1:
why don't you drop by at epixtar house at libis or you can call them at 8577000---> try it but i'm not sure if its the right number.

i hope i will be there soon......:(

[Brandon96]

is the 'big salary' no less than P22,000 NET per month (meaning, wala nang ibabawas na taxes or deductions)? if it is, then I'm interested. somebody please tell me!

[feeline]

Brandon96: Dream on bro, there will never be a salary of 22k "NET" for an ordinary rank and file personel, because if 22K "NET" is what youre looking for... the books of salary will have to say that you are making more than 30K GROSS in order for you to take home 22K because it is mandatory for taxes to be deducted unless you are "Upper Management" status which can play the tax sheilding game if they choose to.

[Brandon96]

feeline,

dito sa ofc ko I AM ACTUALLY making slightly more than that 22k NET. pero i am willing to make a slight concession by agreeing to a SLIGHT (konting konti lang) DEDUCTION in pay from 2xk to 22k, pero sagad na talaga yan. 22k or nothing, unless other factors make me go back to my old CSA sweldo at a Libis call center that was below 20k/month net. Why do I want to do this? Because I wanna downshift to a call center again and live a more relaxed lifestyle, no more thinking, no more headaches at least once a week.

middle management takes home around 40-50k net in decent companies. if u dont make that and ur a middle level manager, then ur company isn't decent enough to be desirable.

upper level management is 60k or 80k and up, even breaching 100k a month NET. that is, if ur company is a decent employer. :)

[Jareth]

uh... just got this in my inbox:

anyone who wants to work and earn big, call
center is the best choice... but, there's one thing i
want you to know... make sure that the company
you are applying for is registered under the SEC.,
has tax identification number and SSS #.

For your info., I've been to Securities & Exchange
Commission last week to verify TECHNION
COMMUNICATIONS... I have found out that this
company was not registered... and they were
having this mass hiring since nov. 7... i also found
out that Technion Communications has the same
address with Epixtar Alabang. Would you know if
epixtar in alabang is still existing? The bldg. itself
on the 8th fl in Insular Life, Alabang is not as big
as the other call centers out there... No company
can occupy on the same floor in Insular Life,
Alabang with the same business. Well guys, be
careful when applying...You should make the right
choice. Having this big ads on the newspaper can
even deceive you. The next time you see ads on
the newspaper, think twice or else you'll get
depressed.

:eek:

[anne_373]

jareth hahaha still against epix?


manila i wonder, how come epixtar keeps on building a lot of branches, their first branch in alabang, di pa ata 3 floors un eh. im just so curious, coz not like other call centers and i guess all establishments will focus on their one branch before putting more branches in different locations.

i wonder if tinupad ng epixtar in alabang that hmm i guess thats last year pa. as soon as epixtar started their operation, they'll have their 8th floor as their breakroom daw, now tell us, nangyari na ba toh? coz when i visited epixtar early this year, ive seen few changes though.. 8th floor parin sila. now its gonna be a new year, tell us, aside from the good benefits and salary, more about epixtar.

[kennster]

is epixtar alabang the same as technion? can anyone clarify this, thanks! :)

[kennster]

^^ can someone clarify this issue.. :confused:

[pinayraine]

oo nga naman. JARETH, can u clarify all the facts?

pero, para maclarify ka kennster, tama yang sinulat ko (pwamis!) mas maganda pumunta ka ng dole/nlrc para makapagtanong-tanong ka. ikaw na bahalang magsabi ng rason mo bakit gusto mong malaman kung may labor case ang EPIXTAR. kung gusto mo pumunta ka sa dulo ng bookman bldg sa nlrc tingnan mo dun sa dulo yung mga papel ng nakakabit sa dingding ng room. tignan mo yung period ng month mas maganda siguro month of may di ko kasi sure kung meron pa nung june hanggang ngayon. alam ko hindi ako nagkakamali sa nakita ko pwamis!

pagkakataon nga naman. dahil sa pagmamasid naming magkakabarkada, punto del punto! nakita namin pangalan ng EPIXTAR PHILIPPINES. VERIFY mO sa DOLE para maniwala ka! ok pa rin ang APAC kaysa sa EPIXTAR! hehehehehehehehehehehe:D

[kennster]

still no light regarding this matter? :rolleyes:

thanks pinayraine for the tip but im kinda busy eh, no time to go to dole.. but still hoping that someone here in PEX can clarify this issue between epixter and technion.

i know of the managers there. wala naman siyang sinasabi na masama about the company. pero malay ko di ba? kase boss siya so baka di lang siya apektado kase malaki sweldo. hehehe.

[feeline]

Jareth,
whats up? no more stories about epix? there has got to be more for you to invent? or have you dished out all you got? hehehe pathetic. see yah!

[globalhegemon]

Wait...how about using KC Montero as its image model in its recruitment ads:?: What say you:?:

[manila]

i say Epixtar has great marketing strategies.....

[david_james]

any hr positions available in your alabang office? - please help! thanks you!!

[purple_witch]

marketing strat? do we really need to market CCs?

[manila]

Yes, as Epixtar believes in marketing class A candidates for all positions...

[Pin@tubo]

I guess it would have been more credible if KC really worked in Epixtar (or did he?). Somehow, it didn't occur to me that it's what Epixtar is trying to potray (what u r saying, manila). Reminds me of this print ad by Convergys with a pretty lady wearing a headset. It had a caption that says something like "who says only VJs get the best jobs." I was quite taken by it because it didn't use any popular icon but carried quite a sophisticated image to it.

A former young actress works in our call center now. An ad with her testimony (or something like that) would probably look nice. But then again, that would depend on our company's positioning. Somehow, the testimonial thing is "gasgas" na. You see it on almost every job ad in the broadsheet.

[feeline]

Pin@tubo quoted: "the testimonial thing is "gasgas" na. You see it on almost every job ad in the broadsheet."

Correct.

BREAKING NEWS

Beware of any company who goes by the name of Technion Communications

Why?

Since sobra nang mabafo ang pangalan nang Epixtar- they changed their name :p

wahahahahahah!!!

PATHETIC!!! :lol:

isnt technion a different company? they're the number 1 outsource of dell computers. epixtar din ba may ari or sis-company? subsidiary? i have friends there now, they said ok naman. even those who formerly belong to epixtar who resigned even before the scam broke out, they're there. they said its a different thing naman

[dragonrower]

FYI

HINT: It's a lot. When outsourcing our business through different call centers in the Philippines (which THEY are to blame for the mishandling of our account that let to trouble), it acquired more than $60 Million dollars last year.

not to be rude, but $60 million dollars lang? i think sykes & peoplesupport made more than that last year individually

[dragonrower]

FYI

Epixtar is one of the best call centers to work for. Earn More, Learn More, Be More. Only two other centers in the country pay more than Epixtar.

NO OTHER CALL CENTER WILL COMPARE FOR PROVIDING YOU COMFORT AT WORK THE WAY WE DO!!! :)

sorry manila, i have to admit, i was once a call center hopper, but theres a call center in makati that beat you to it, especially your ALL CAPS sentence

They accept walk-in applicants in hr. You just go directly the career center with a copy of your resume and you'll be interviewed. At least that's how I applied. :naughty: By far, of all the jobs that I applied for Epix had the fastest job offer. Compensation is good. Basic pay is not too high but there are alternative ways to earn and save. Tsaka ayos na ** at least upper level position are not appointed they are usually offered internally.If you want pasa mo sakin resume mo para may referral incentive hehe P6,000 din un. joke :lol:

kumusta na ang Epixtar call center sa Pampanga?

[dishguRl]

i dnt think it is operating yet...somone told me the accnts are not stable yet...

[galactus28]

kamusta na yung mga kaso ng epix sa FTC???

[Princess_Sniper]

marami akong gustong sabihin tungkol sa call center na ito...and i hope a lot of people would take it as it is. no ********, take this as i say it.

the epixtar house is at eastwood, a building theyre leasing from i dunno who. its got 12 flrs, the top which serves as a haven for expats who come in and out of the phils (swear, its got VIP hotel accomodations). i applied online, got interviewed monday after i send app previous week's friday. i got interviewed, tested on selling skills, asked 2 dozen questions about workplace attitude, motivation etc. in less than 2 hours i got hired.

first week training, i really didnt enjoy. everything was a blur, like the trainers went through everything like stepping on it lightly. there was a call simulation to end the training, who fails, gets attritioned. 2nd week got more serious where sales training as they pounded sales skills & comm skills on trainees. trainers are good, one of them is a tall (i mean 6"8') 24 yr old black guy...all trainers are actually good in their own fields. a call simulation also ended the training and whoever fails gets cut off. then came in product training (to those who wish to apply, youd probably get the magazine account...fairly easy, i should say). a funny (but serious as she needs to be) young girl took over training and final call assessment ended training.

my batch started with 36 trainees with only 12 people (including me) who made it to the floor. assessing the people who attended first week...well most werent really that good (a good half has call center experience) but all could speak english well. no doubt about that. some just quit, some thought about applying elsewhere, some got a JO at another center.

thing about training is, you dont pass written exams you get cut off from training. no retakes. this is something i want HR/IM to get concerned of. i know, on their part, they would want agents to be good both in written and in oral assessments but no retakes on an exam which had only 3 hours-same day lecture? please, they mightve made you guys money on the floor. couldve at least looked into their call center experiences.

good things, though. they have the building all to themselves. their pantry/cafeteria got hot food 24 hours, P20 only coz part of it is subsidized by epix. snacks like junkies, candy, pantyliners, sanitary napkins are priced like 7-11 (at least you dont have to go down and walk all the way to 7-11 to get food...unless you really want to). 7th floor has a balcony where smokers can burn their lungs out (i love that balcony).

the account i got into was the same account i handled before i came in. its a fairly easy account coz its soft selling, unlike other accounts where you bleed before you get a sale (or more like you bleed & scam to get a sale...). i guess im fortunate, eh.

i got to the floor last evening. i enjoyed the idea of calling from 8pm to 4:15am only (agents usually have full 9pm-6am shifts, right?) but then i realized i have to reach the same SPH for a shorter period of call time. oh well, cant do anything about that. and then i saw the system, oh jesus christ, i almost wanted to go back to my former company. at epix, they got this full speed dialer which halts for about 2-3 seconds and with a keyboard-only manipulated system screen. it looked like a DOS program to me. they said it right, "antiquated", but its fast. yes it is fast when dialling. but when it comes to filling in information, i find my hands faster than the cursor! i hate it. im so used to do my stuff with just clicks of the mouse. i told my co trainees about how i did my job, i explained how we do it, and they too realized epix' system is like a split-second slower. not that i cant reach my SPH, its just i have to do it all faster this time. im still new, ill get the hang of the system in no time, i know. but still, its slow. for me.

what else...about that FTC matter...i dunno.

btw, the trainers are aware how bad the image of epix here around manila. they sort of said something like if epix really is a bad company, then why has the government (or whatever...) allowed them to continue operations. about their operations in Pampanga, as they said, is still pending because they haved filled in every floor at the eastwood office (some floors are still vacant), they pointed out that what'll be the use of those at Pampanga when they havent filled up eastwood. acceptable.

ghost stories linger around the 5th floor, particularly training room 2 and the female restroom. what they are, dont ask me, i dont believe it anyway.

i am a new agent, i called for one hour last night, i still dont get the system, still fumbling over that SER thing which got me stuttering and racking my head with replies...sweet jesus, good thing he gave me one extremely patient customer that evening.

quote me in all these, sure. i stand by my words.

[Agent_Girl]

That a nice actual experience to read. Epix na epix ang dating. Goodluck.

WARNING!!!

Don't work for Epixtar. If you guys don't know where Epixtar is, it's the building between Citibank and IBM in Eastwood that has a Gloria Jeans and Watson's outlet in the first floor.

I resigned from that stupi- company because of the bad work ethics of the people. As in bad - read... they have abused every provision of the Labor Code to the max. As in!

Now that I have already resigned two months na, and asking for my backpay. My clearance magically disappeared gawinko na lang daw uli. What!!! as in the HR received it early in June and promised that I'll have my backpay (which incidentally should have my uncredited half-month pay na hindi ibinigay kasi hindi daw naka-abot sa cut-off ng timesheet submission yung sup ko na ayaw i-issue sakin kahit nakasubmit na yung sup ko at icrecredit na lang daw next pay,kahit sabihin kopang mamamatay nako sa gutom dahil wala na akong pera! na eventually di rin ibinigay nung next pay at nung next, hanggang sa nagresign na ako). Kasama rin dapat sa backpay na ito ang mahiwagang withholding tax ko na mali ang compute--- take note guys, sa ceiling nila icocompute ang tax mo kahit na hindi abot ang salary mo - as in sa 32% flatrate for all singles with no dependent - mapa-agent ka man o Vice-President ng company lahat kayo 32%!


I followed up my backpay last month telling me na mag-follow up ako by August tapos sasabihin sakin that I did not submit my clearance!!!! and that unless I clear, they wouldn't be issuing me my backpay! What!!! I cleared last June, I followed it up and you told me to call again!!! ARgggh!!!

I'm actually contemplating of filing a case against them sa NLRC- sobra na ito!

nga pala- pag nasa Epixtar ka parang hindi ka Pilipino na nasa Pilipinas --- ang entrance ng mga lowly agents ay sa masikip na service door sa tagiliran ng building. Expats lang ang pwedeng dumaan sa harap - reason, for security purposes daw!

kaya ako - everytime may nagtatanong ng call center - isa lang sinasabi ko - kahit saan wag lang sa Epixtar!

Epixtar: Reorganization affects less than 100 employees

First posted 05:47pm (Mla time) Sept 02, 2005
By Erwin Lemuel Oliva
INQ7.net

THE REORGANIZATION of Epixtar, a US-based call center facility, will affect less than 100 of its 1,700 employees in Manila, company officials told INQ7.net on Friday.
Employees affected by the streamlining program (which has apparently begun as early as July this year), were offered severance packages. But for those who chose to stay, they were expected to swallow a bitter pill and accept a lower salary.

About 20 "non-operational" employees were let go in July, with another 35 offered the option to stay or take the offered package this week. In the next few weeks, another set of 40 operational employees or call center agents will be offered the package, said lawyer Carina Bayon, Epixtar International Contact Center Group Inc. vice president for human resource and legal, during an interview.

"I've been talking to several employees about this for the past two nights. I'm sure we will have problems," she admitted to INQ7.net. She stressed however that the company is aware of the labor laws of the Philippines, and is offering packages based on the tenure of employees.

"In accordance with Philippine labor laws, affected employees have been offered a separation package of one month salary per year of service plus additional one month's salary. Affected employees in Epixtar's operations department have been offered positions as sales executives as a sincere effort to keep them with the company and to continue to provide them with jobs. The separation package is available though for those who choose not to avail of the transfer," Bayon said separately in an e-mail sent to INQ7.net on Friday morning.

She noted that the company's streamlining of operations is reason behind this year's job cuts.

"The company has identified positions and employees who will be affected by the re-organization by using performance, need, and merit as criteria," she added.

Epixtar consultant Harry Fozzard said that every organization has to make such difficult decisions to bring more "efficiency" to operations.

Fozzard who has left the company six months earlier, has been re-hired to organize and improve the recruitment process of the call center operations in Manila. Apparently, several foreign executives were also let go as part of the across-the-board reorganization of Epixtar operations in Manila.

"This [restructuring] was more of a question of business adjustments to rationalize our operations. I'll be developing a process, and concentrate on communicating with people here. The restructuring has more to do with the Philippine operation," Fozzard added.

Bayon said that Epixtar is revamping the operational structure of the Manila operations due to redundancies.

"We want to have the best out of our organization. You need to balance out everything, considering concerns of our clients, stockholders, and our employees," he added. "It is a natural part of a business cycle."

Meanwhile, Bayon said that Epixtar is spending a total of about 50,000 dollars for the separation package given to select employees.

"But this will be it. This is going to be the last time we are doing [job cuts]. Now, we're trying to allay fears in some employees," Bayon said, noting that she is already coordinating with the Department of Labor and Employment for the agency to witness the signing of waivers by employees who will opt to get the axe.

"Rumors about people losing jobs have spread for the past three weeks, and this has caused some fears from some employees," she admitted.

She admitted that Epixtar is not in a position to stop employees from filing complaints with the Department of Labor and Employment.

However since July, she said the company has not seen any complaints filed with the government agency, as people affected by the job cuts opt to take the package.

Filipino employees of Epixtar, a US-based offshore call center, have filed a complaint with the Department of Labor and Employment as the company is being restructured and staff are being asked to resign or being demoted.

Kristoffer Barba, Epixtar Philippines sales leader, said he has filed a complaint with the DoLE via e-mail, along with 30 other colleagues who are facing the axe.

"We're given until Friday to resign or face demotion. Their main reason is cost-cutting. A lot of people are being forced to resign. It is across the board. In our department alone, almost one fourth or more than 20 people are being forced to resign. There were no official papers or explanation to back up their reason so we've filed complaints at the labor department, and we're each consulting our own lawyers," Barba told INQ7.net in a telephone interview Thursday.

Epixtar Philippines operates a call center facility in Eastwood City, Cyberpark in Libis, Quezon City. It has recently closed down the Alabang operation.

In separate interviews, other employees corroborated Barba's story.

One sales leader who declined to be identified confirmed the management's plan to demote them to a "sales executive position," which is equal to a call center agent.

"This is a demotion which means we're being asked to operate a telephone service. A sales leader is getting 25,000 pesos and now they're offering 16,000 pesos," the sales leader. A sales leader handles about 10 call center agents.

Actually, I'm a HE. Yes, I defended the company for over 4 years. Epixtar believe it or not use to be very different than what it has evolved into now. It was once a great company, now I just wish them luck. They will need luck on their side...

Epixtar Announces Establishment Of Advisory Board For Philippines Operations
http://www.epixtar.com/release05112005.asp


Gregory Domingo, former Department of Trade & Industry Undersecretary, to Chair Newly Created Board

Miami, FL & Manila, Philippines – May 11, 2005 – Epixtar Corp. (OTC BB: EPXR), a global teleservices provider, announces the appointment of a high profile Philippine Advisory Board. The Philippine Advisory Board’s Chairman Gregory Domingo, former Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) undersecretary, is well recognized as being a driving force for raising the profile of the Philippines within the IT-Enabled Services (ITES) and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) sectors.

The principal objectives of the Philippine Advisory Board will be to have these distinguished industry and business leaders contribute, support and advise on the strategic growth direction of Epixtar’s BPO operations in the Philippines.

Ilene Kaminsky, chairman and CEO of Epixtar Corp. commented, "We are proud to have assembled such a dynamic Advisory Board comprised of key business and political leaders who are highly accomplished and respected in the Philippines. The Philippines has emerged as a leader in the BPO industry and the Board’s wealth of knowledge within each of their respected industries will be a major contributor to our Company’s success. We believe this team will help us navigate the waters of culture and commerce."

In October 2002, the DTI commissioned a study from research and consulting firm Gartner, Inc., which forecasted that the global outsourced IT-enabled service business will reach approximately US$800 billion by 2005.

"We are honored to have the Advisory Board’s commitment and support of our objective to become a leading provider of global call center services, while sharing our vision of being a socially responsible firm," concluded Kaminsky.

[ambertookme]

Actually, I'm a HE. Yes, I defended the company for over 4 years. Epixtar believe it or not use to be very different than what it has evolved into now. It was once a great company, now I just wish them luck. They will need luck on their side...


Manila, I was really anticipating your stand regarding the issue above. Been monitoring the thread since it came out. Honestly, i had an offer with them way back but I've decided to stay.

[Princess_Sniper]

hanep. pinuri ko pa man din ang epixtar. akalain mong after 2 days on the floor, nag resign ako. a bigger offer took me to shaw blvd. and i was really pissed with their software grabe. so much for that company. they even took pictures of one of my batchmates coz she looks like alessandra de rossi...i dunno if i'd still get to see her face on the billboards, tho.

i shouldve listened to those who posted threads here earlier but then again, epixtar gave me something to fill in the gap financially somehow before i transferred here at shaw blvd. sayang msaya pa naman ang training department. sila lang yata ang mga nagustuhan kong tao jan.

gudlak na lang sa iba.

[Jareth]

ano ne? makakalusot na naman ba sila? :angry:

[angeleigh]

will resign soon... have a better offer in a company in ortigas... a lot of my team mates are also doing the same.

[tidus1203]

So ano na latest update sa Epixtar??

[globalhegemon]

So Epixtar has finally transformed into a sinking rudderless ship...

Advertisement aint everything, in fact if maganda sobra advertising MAGDUDA KAYO! I mean a company will not advertise their openings and people will come to them instead of them coming to you....

Newspaper ads for opening are fine, but kung katulad sa Epixtar EXAGGED na to the point may billboards pa I don't think ok yun. You don't sell employment!

So does that mean the END is near and does that mean KC Montero and Sarah Meier ads will no longer stay at Eastwood for very long????

[eegelsI]

Geesh... It's been a while since I last visited and replied to this thread. A lot of changes... especially with Manila. I knew it from the very start! Oh well... it goes without saying that with all the negative reactions, we're right after all.

[purple_witch]

is epix coming back? heard from one of my OM friends there, that after he resigned, epix is now asking him back...

[globalhegemon]

So it's safe to assume that the end is near for Epixtar...

Good thing wala ako dun and was NEVER employed by them.

[trueplayer]

At last nakuha ko na rin yung BACKPAY ko after 3 months...

Dun sa mga kukuha ng backpay... araw-arawin nyo ang follow-up kina MARCO at JR!!!!

[angeleigh]

anyway, i will just call them up everyday if i can...
good thing i resigned last week of september....

[Milliardo]

So it's safe to assume that the end is near for Epixtar...

Good thing wala ako dun and was NEVER employed by them.

Good thing I was not hired by them, either. Wala lang, I applied there last August or so...

[angel_kitten]

Is it true what I heard about Epixtar that after filing for a chapter 11, they will be changing the company name to VOXX......and if this happens there will be a POSSIBILITY the the epix employee won't get their bonuses..........Hmmmmmm how true is this?

[Jareth]

a lot of agents are being offered higher salaries by epixtar... however, pls ask "what's the catch?!" i know a lot of new reps from other centers also here in eastwood that are being cross trained for one acct to another new acct. hindi nila malaman kung san talaga *** ilalagay ng company.

look at the long term benefits, **** pa sabihin na call center industry is very unstable... still, there are some companies na much better in terms of compensation & benefits aside from epixtar.

although masaya nmng magwork sa epix... i am very close to my former colleagues... kaya ***, career move *** **** *** lumipat ako sa ibang company.

Mr. Jack Cooney
Chairman, Audit Committee
Epixtar Corp
11900 Biscayne Blvd.
Suite 700
Miami, Florida 33181

Dear Mr. Cooney:

In the course of our engagement to audit the financial statements of
Epixtar, Corp. (The "Company") for the year ended December 31, 2005, certain
actions taken by the officers of the company have caused us to question the
judgment and decision-making of the Company's Management such that we are unable
to complete our engagement. After advising you of this, your actions through
your counsel, resulted in our independence being impaired. As a result, we are
required to seek to withdraw from our engagement. As you will appreciate, some
of these matters indicate weaknesses in the Company's internal controls and
give rise to questions regarding management's judgment. This will serve as our
communication to you and the Company's Board of Directors in this regard.

1. We learned in February 2006, that there were pending felony charges
against the Company's Chief Operating Officer dating back to November 2004, and
thereafter, on March 24, 2006, we advised you that we had learned that he had
pled guilty in this matter. Thereupon, management advised us that it first
became aware of this issue and the plea bargain the day before (March 23). These
failures to know of and immediately communicate material facts and events
regarding senior management constitute a material weakness in the Company's
internal controls. Further, the rationale given for the Company's decision to
retain this executive officer, and your continuing decision not to promptly,
publicly disclose the facts surrounding these circumstances has caused us to
further question your management's judgment and to lose trust in its willingness
to be forthcoming.

2. The Company recently filed, without our knowledge or consent, a Form
12b-25 which was inaccurate, incomplete and materially misleading. That
document, stated in part, that: "New auditors [our firm] were unable to complete
the preparation of the financial statements." Of course this representation is
both false and misleading. Any such disclosure commentary must be reviewed by us
in advance; had you provided us with the opportunity to read such document
before filing, we would have pointed out the obvious errors. Also, Rule
12b-25(c) requires when you refer to a public accountant in this context, that
the Form 12b-25 include a letter from the independent auditor stating the
specific reasons why the required opinion, report or certification could not be
furnished. This filing failure brings into question the adequacy of your
internal procedures for the preparation and review of the Company's public
disclosure documents. Further, we do not "prepare" the Company's financial
statements, and any such statement to that effect appears to compromise our
independence.



<PAGE>


Mr. Jack Cooney
April 21, 2006
Page 2


3. Finally, as you may know, on Monday, April 10, 2006, we advised the
Company's bankruptcy counsel and management that, consistent with our duties, we
would seek to withdraw from the engagement. Specifically, we had lost confidence
in the judgment of the Company's management, resulting in our inability to
continue the engagement to audit the Company's financial statements (see our
engagement letter to you dated January 11, 2006) and necessitating our need to
seek the Bankruptcy Court's consent to resign and withdraw. By letter from your
bankruptcy counsel, dated April 11, 2006, we were threatened with legal action
if we pursued our decision to resign. This action by the company (through its
counsel) can only be read as an attempt to coerce the issuance of our opinion
with respect to the Company's financial statements, thereby compromising our
independence with respect to the company.

* * * *

On Wednesday, April 19, 2006 an "agreed order" providing for our
resignation (and for that of CBIZ Accounting, Tax & Advisory of South Florida,
LLC) was negotiated at a court-ordered mediation. This agreed order will be
submitted for Bankruptcy Court approval at a hearing scheduled for Monday, April
24, 2006.

Man Sentenced for Sexually Assaulting Babysitter
Overland Park, KS -- He's a husband, father and businessman and soon to be a registered sex offender. Johnson County prosecutors says Bradley Yeater sexually assaulted his son's baby-sitter in the basement of his Overland Park home, while is wife and son slept upstairs. While Yeater was sentenced today he won't do any jail time unless he violates his plea agreement of 36 months probation for aggravated sexual battery. The victim's mother Teresa Marshall says her daughter agreed to the deal to put the case behind her because she's getting married in June. Yeater's attorney John Harvel says the deal was made because of the circumstances in the case. Harvel says the victim who was 19-years-old at the time didn't report the sexual assault until 40 days after it occurred. He says the victim and Yeater were drinking alcohol from 2 a.m. until 6:30 in the morning when the assault happened. He went on to say the victim who spent the night at Yeater's home saw Yeater's wife before she left but did tell her what happened. Marshall hopes this case will serve as a lesson for others to report sexual assaults immediately. Monica Evans, Fox Four News.

Sex assault plea

An Overland Park man accused of raping his 19-year-old baby sitter pleaded guilty Wednesday to a felony count of aggravated sexual battery.

Bradley A. Yeater Sr., 35, had been scheduled to for trial Monday on rape and sodomy charges. Instead, he pleaded guilty to the lesser charge in Johnson County District Court. In exchange, prosecutors agreed to support probation. Judge Steve Tatum scheduled sentencing April 12.

The assault occurred in January 2004 after an ice storm prevented the young woman from driving home after baby-sitting for Yeater and his wife, the young woman testified a year ago at Yeater’s preliminary hearing.

Yeater made her a drink and pestered her into smoking marijuana, she testified, then pulled her into a bathroom, where he raped and sodomized her.

This company seems out of control, both morally and financially bankrupt

[badone]

For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company is expected to incur a
net loss of approximately $2,500,000 on revenues of approximately $7,156,000, as
compared to a net loss of $5,605,887 on revenues of $9,080,074 for the
comparable quarter in 2005.

:rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
:lol: :lol: :lol:

[billso]

On the Epixtar website they say that they expect to come out of bankruptcy in Q2 2006. Well they have about 45 days and from what we have seen of this company, financial analysts are predicting that the company will be forced to liquidate within the next quarter. Epixtar's two largest and perhaps only clients, Discover and Compucredit may not be aware of what is going on with the recent felony rape conviction of Epixtar's COO Bradley Yeater. Add that to the most recent financial loss and they will likely decide to pull their business. There has also been activity in Makati with some IT vendors starting to shop Epixtar assets that they are owed money on. Doesn't look good.
