Pedro Lopez was born in Brooklyn, New York to immigrant parents who  fled to the United States from Nicaragua  during the Sandinista revolution.  As a child and well into manhood, Pedro only ever spoke to his parents in spanish, and although he was born in Brooklyn, and after a lifetime of doing so, he acquired an accent similar to that of his father. Mr. Lopez works hard to provide for his family delivering large plants from a large family-owned nursery to large corporate parties in and around the city.  He has held onto this job  since he was in his teens working during the weekends, weeding and pruning, to help to support his family. He learned everything about the business including learning the names of hundreds of species of plants and flowers, the conditions in which they thrive, and their proper care and handling. He is highly regarded as an expert by his employer and customers and is happy to take a phone call on his time off to handle the questions an...

  So you think that YOU'RE getting scammed! The only ones that are getting scammed by Manhattan Fire and Safety are its employees. For those who would consider working there, consider this... Stay far away from this place! The compensation is disproportionate to the effort. No matter what they tell you, you will only ever take home $424.00 a week. He will pay you 5.00 an hour, lend you the 10.00 hour = 15.00 hour and you owe it to him. This keeps him in compliance with New York's 15.00 per hour minimum wage law that he clearly states during the first interview is the ONLY reason why he does this. Otherwise, this would probably be a commission only job which means that he would have NO employees! You will devote 60 hours a week - from the time you wake up for work until the time that you get home, to this company for 424.00 a week...that's all! Your life is effectively gone! Any opportunities that you might have pursued to advance your life and earn more money...GONE. You wi...
