Pros
Here is what Syntech's whole MO is. The are a predatory company. I will explain. Syntech's clients are all Big name electronics manufactures. So you are representing some of the biggest wealthiest companies in the world. Syntech's is contracted by these companies to service their products when they need repair. Syntech's does this by contracting other companies and individuals that are in or near the region where the item that needs repair is. Syntech's places an ad on craiglist.com seeking IT professionals. Then Syntech's troll through the resumes they receive and find the ones that match individuals who have A+ certs and who have in past operated as or are currently operating as independent contractors in a repair service capacity. They choose these individuals because they need people who are desperate to keep their small business alive. Thinking that you are now dealing with a company that will guarantee you some income your confidence is up and your motivated to work and do a great job for you new customer. So you go the extra mile for them. That's exactly the type of vendor they are looking for. One they can take advantage of.
Cons
They don't have any intention of paying you. The last two reviews sound just like something Syntech's would write in response to the reviews written below. After working for them a little over three years and being paid only for the first job (a whopping $40.00) I am owed over $500 dollars and now know that if I want it I am going to have to take them to court. They are a bunch of criminals running a scam. I don't think companies like Sony and Visio are aware or involved Syntech's Scam operation. I am hoping to shed light and expose Syntech's bad practices.

Pros
Most of the staff there is actually pretty good. That being said heads of the departments generally leave much to be desired.
Cons
I personally worked for the company for 3 months and never received any payment. After having enough with waiting around on hold doing nothing for 30 minutes to get permision to replace a part I told them they broke their contract for not having payed and I would no longer run any calls. They responded by saying they were charging me 100 per call and more for every call in my area for 30 days. Let's not let this company get away with what they are doing, they do everything in their power not to pay techs .
