Been working with them for about 6 months now, and have been mostly enjoying it. The pay comes in on time (plus or minus a day or two) and I've only ever had a couple problems with pay, in which my check out time was not entered correctly by the tech. The pay CAN be great, but you do have to fight for it, which is why I give it 2 stars. The tech at the technician assignment center who gives you the work order will try to talk your rate down significantly, to a point where it is almost not even worth your time. If that happens, which it will, just hold firm on the rate you have given, and always

We gave Barrister one more chance after we were relentlessly spammed by emails and calls from them as well as offered a laughable pay rate for a 3-hour drive to a tech job. The Barrister supervisor agreed on our HOURLY rate, and said that we would be paid with their speed pay option and that the fees would be waived for that. They also promised that we would not be contacted for any job requests outside of our service area. GUESS WHAT!! None of that was true. We're having to fight with Barrister now because of the agreed upon terms that they won't honor, and they're still calling us for job requests

I'm a potential technician that signed up for them when I was really young. They now keep calling me even though I've asked them to remove my number easily 5+ times.
I've now blocked their number which I would recommend you do. If they can't manage to avoid harassing people, what else are they doing poorly?

The technical service desk representatives are horrible. There must be some disconnect in understanding. My last experience with the service desk the representative simply stopped talking. She just stopped. She wouldn't respond to anything I said until she put me on mute and I ended up hanging up. They keep offering me jobs that are 5-6 hours away. They obviously don't pay for drive time so these jobs would be costing me more money than I'd make and when I say it's too far, they argue with me. They must be under pressure to schedule these jobs because they shouldn't be arguing with their techs

I made the mistake of signing up with this company as an IT professional. I have only done one service call job with this company, and it was a terrible experience. They paid virtually nothing for hours at a job site regarding an HP printer. It literally took hours to get a hold of Barrister's tech support. During that whole time, I was at the customer site, waiting. This was back in Feb. of 2017. I have not done any jobs with them since then. However, I have asked them literally for years now to stop calling, emailing and otherwise harassing me. They are extremely unprofessional. Even signing

I have worked with Barrister for enough years i can't remember when i started, but i have noticed a number of negative reviews lately and wanted to respond to them. Barrister has been a responsible partner for me over these years, with a few bumps in the road, some caused by my carelessness, some caused by business model changes at Barrister, and some other things. But i have found that Barrister keeps working at improving their system. They respond to complaints about their processes, they pay according to their timeline (i am on the 30 day payment plan) and call me when there is a problem with

I have been doing jobs arranged through Barrister on and off for 5 years now. I have seen the company go through hurricane Katrina and build back up.
The company has never given me anything but exemplary service, they have always kept me moving from job to job.
I only had one time where a payment was excessively late, but it was not their fault. The vendor had held for review that particular job and they were waiting on the customer to reply to their survey (I did get paid by the way).
The Barrister app they created was a fantastic tool which helps us check in and out of jobs quickly and efficiently

Three years of trying to work with this company has shown me that Barrister is horrible for both techs and end users. Every job is a battle. Very disorganized company with constant misinformation. They will not acknowledge mistakes and always shift the blame and financial responsibility onto techs. I am a responsible tech with a thriving business - I tried very hard to make this work as they do have a lot of work available. In the end they turned me loose because I was reluctant to do something unethical that they were asking of me. To make matters worse they will not even respond to my emails

I did worked for 7 years as independent contractor with this company. Never got any problems with pay. They paid for all contracts they give me. I can always negotiate rates if needed.
They also paid all expenses for me to get certified and get necessary security clearances to work on government contracts. This company also paid 100% for my one-week long trip to major computer manufacturer site for training purposes. While on training Barrister also paid me very good hourly rate and covered all my meal and entertainment expenses for that week. They require tech to follow simple set of rules in
