Pros
The companies include but are not limited to USA POOLS of Del Marva,Pennsylvania, Houston,New York, AMI,Pool management Inc,Rite Pools,USA Pools construction and more.They use these multiple companies to manipulate bids to win contracts. They lie to their clients about their employees 1099 status.The clients are unaware that insurance doesn't cover subcontractors and that moves liability to the client.
Cons
You are worked as a 1099 subcontractor even though you position qualifies you as a w-2.As a 1099 you are liable if an accident happens on your watch.Staff turn them in to the department of labor and IRS because they are stealing payroll taxes from you and illegally classifying you as a subcontractor. Verify this statement by going to the DOL website and see what the qualifications of a w-2 verses a 1099.Don't be intimidated by their threats because their are laws that protect you from retaliation.
