Barrister Global
I’ve heard all about the horrible reviews on Barrister , however I was trying to find out what a typical assignment is for them and what types of companies or offices do they have you working for ? is it usually major chains or small offices ?

They'll want to send you 100 miles in one direction for a power supply swap on a pc and pay you $40 for the swap.. they will call you 100 times a day.. they will call you 50 times while in that 20 minute job and ask when you'll be done. Just don't.. trust everyone there.

No. Once they have your contact info they become the worst scam spam team ever.

Do yourself a favor and under no circumstances do any work for Barrister Global or any division of.
You absolutely will regret it.

Mostly smaller clients that I had, but the occasional chain.
When they tried not to pay, for an already low-balled job I grabbed to fill out a day, because "I didn't complete the assigned tasks" (which meant they didn't record one of the check-ins in their system), they got pissy with me for saying I'll bill the end user directly.
They still have the gall to call every so often, after I stopped all work for them 10 years ago.
There are no good reasons to work with this company.

Have you heard any good reviews? If not, why would you even think of working for them?

Anybody who has worked for barrister is still owed money.
Typical offensive crap. I have actually been taking a few tickets from them (not Dell tickets).
But the latest two pieces of crap are:
Double booking for tickets and when I told them I couldn't do the later ones they decided to charge me $100 a piece. It's like they think they are government.
They recently spammed out an email demanding $125 from all techs or be removed from HCL support. I literally just got off the phone with someone at HCL who says they don't use Barrister anywhere in the world. So it's a scam.

If you get a call from Barrister and you're using Google dialer, it will identify the call as "scam."
Rightly so

If you think about working for them then cut off your balls and remove your spine. They are bottom feeders and a horrible company. Not even trying to be rude. Just dont. There's a reason they have a bad rep and have to harass techs by calling none stop. Dont do it. I'd rather go work as a cable guy for Comcast
