ERMC OUT OF CHATANOGGA TN.

Joey B. in Lynchburg, Virginia said: Wow, this is fun! I just got off a 12 hr. shift! Now you have peaked my intrest, let me recall from the back text I have read from years back. Mr. Jackson and Mr. Mongeon both have a job to do.( What ever that job might be,I don't realy know, and it don't really matter to me). A job that may or may not meat your approval, however they do there job to the best of there ability. It may make some employees happy and some, like you, not so much. However they go home every day to there families and lives. You on the other hand get on this webb site and JUDGE THEM,( As you say I have done to you) you don't know them, you know the job they have to do. But you do not know the men they are!!!! At all!! As for your other point!( What you put up with ) I do not really now what you might be putting up with!! You were there ALONE!! That really must have been hard. I think you and the general population have a problem!! Yes that is my OPINION, and spell it right, and every one has one, you are correct. Have a good night.

You know I thought about what you said, Joey, Your right ERMC is a great co. to work for. Do you work for ERMC? Enjoy your job. I am too old for all of the drama on this web page, and the fighting between ERMC, and their Disgrunteled emplyoyees like me. You have been right all along. Enjoy. Have a good night. Oh yea tell Frank I said hi.

First of all both of you can't spell very well so don't try to have a battle of wits.
There are many employers in the world. Some good, some not so good. It seems ERMC may hire from the lower rungs of society based on the discussions seen on this blog. The people who work for ERMC and keep complaining should go get another job. I am sure most of the fast food places are hiring and you are the caliber of people they are looking for. ERMC can always find another drone to fill your spot. Be careful what you say, for a swift wind may come by and blow you away and you will never know what happened. If you can't be positive then don't comment.

I can see by your last name why you think you can threaten someone and get away with it. I made a major mistake am couple of weeks ago. I don't need to be reminded everyday, that I made a mistake. Thanks for your opinion, but kep it to yourself. Oh yea Now I remember you and I went a couple rounds against each other, A few years ago. Glad you made it back, Have a great day Eddie.

Oh Eddie I see I misspelled a few words. You don't have to point that out to me, Ever heard of Typo's?

Eddies comment was actually quite interesting to me. I wouldn't mind to have a battle wits with you sir. You see, it would appear, at least to me, that the senior officers of this company were sought out from the lowest rungs of society based on some of the real evidence that I have personally seen. The fact that you would comment on having drones fill security positions within your company seems quite befitting to the actual reality of it all.

I have seen a lot of people comment on the topic of something dire happening because of the ignorant policies of this company. I for one, believe this has already happened.

I have had several bad experiences on differing scales with this company, however, one stands out above all of them. In April of this year a woman committed suicide in the Macy's parking lot of Hickory Hollow Mall. This is no secret you can probably get the report with ease from the Nashville Police records. Whats interesting is the fact that there was a specific guard on duty that night. The director of the mall has tried several times to have this person fired for complete incompetence when it comes to doing his job. Not only was this guard incompetent, but also insubordinate to company policies and procedures. He did not do his job there at all. However, because(cont

of the high cost of firing a person, I believe he was kept on board.

That night a woman sat in the parking lot of Macy's alive for all of third shift until she finally shot herself in the head. This was in a car with the headlights on for most of the night. The tape from the CC cameras revealed that the officer never left dispatch to patrol the lots like he should have. He was instead seen reading a book all night and talking to himself. In my opinion her life could have possibly been saved if he was doing his job.

The director of the mall spoke briefly about this with corporate office on to be told that the officer was not at fault. To blame him is to blame the company and not to make those accusations ever again. The officer is still to this day employed by ERMC and has been moved to another location due to hour cuts. ERMC refuses to fire this person.

...The way things are handled at this company Mr. Russell, I wouldn't be surprised to see you working at the local fast food joint sometime very soon. Who knows, perhaps this is your "swift wind"

And I will be letting the family of the deceased know all of this information very soon.

What can you say? This statement speaks volumes. All of my Prayers goes out to this family. Very disturbing.

eddie russell: "ERMC can always find another drone to fill your spot. Be careful what you say, for a swift wind may come by and blow you away and you will never know what happened. If you can't be positive then don't comment."

People! He actually let the cat out of the bag about how ERMC feels and thinks of its people! Like the rest of the family, this guy looks at you like a lower life form! JUST BECAUSE YOUR LAST NAME IS RUSSELL; YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO DIRECT PEOPLE NOT TO POST ON THIS BLOG. It's freedom of speech like you calling employees "drones." What an arrogant a**hole.

WHY DO MOVE FROM BEDFORD TO HARDY TO ROCKY MOUNT AND BACK.WAY TO ENEMIES YOU ARE A COMPLETE IDIOT

FRED D in North Tazewell, Virginia said: WHY DO MOVE FROM BEDFORD TO HARDY TO ROCKY MOUNT AND BACK.WAY TO ENEMIES YOU ARE A COMPLETE IDIOT

To be honest with you Fred. I don't move, When ever I respond to any comment on This page, My computer says a differant location. One day its Rocky Mount, The Next Day It's Moneta, and Etc.

Honestly, if this truly is Eddie Russell, he sure isn't doing anything good for his company coming on here saying such things. It's childish and incredibly unprofessional. Then again, you work long enough with this company and you'll realize that they are all childish and unprofessional.

A woman DIED because of the poor work ethics of an employee, or rather she committed suicide in the middle of a parking lot with her lights on in full view without said officer even ATTEMPTING to do his job. He could have prevented it, or at least got someone there that could have. And what does this company do? They cover up the fact that he was sitting in Dispatch all night reading a book, and he STILL has a job? How is that even possible?

The Truth, thank you for bringing that up here. Wish the company would have listened to your Director and terminated that guy's employment. They should have also contacted the family of the woman, and at least sent flowers and a card.

I guess this event is why your people now have to take out trash, and clean toilets on third shift.

I met Mr Russell about five years ago at the ERMC Christmas party. I commented to him about all his relatives in his company (with family, you always have drama)he explained that he was going to have to support the lot of them, so he may as well get a little work out of them. Wow. A company of misfits? Ya THINK???

ERMC: "Creating dangerous, nasty, and unsafe environments!" should be the mission statement instead of creating clean, safe, worry-free environments. I spewed coffee out of my nose when I read that this morning!

AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! PLEASE HAVE SOMEONE,THAT IS EDUCATED, REVIEW YOUR POSTS BEFORE YOU SEND THEM!

Ya, right, 'eddie russell' and I'm Marilyn Monroe coming back for ol' times sake. Okay, I'll play. 'Eddie' your I.Q. must rival only your warm compassionate, professional manner with employees. If one is to throw stones in the direction of misspellings then one should await comments on grammatical errors as well. 'Eddie' you better duck! Your sentences tend to be run-on. Now, with the reference to fast food: 'I am sure most fast food places are hiring.' I think that sounds better. Becareful of your prepositions. Now, let us get to the main purpose of your silly (if not hypocritical) notation. We both know you are not the old man. We both know your lips are firmly implanted on administrations' ....assets. First of all, this venue can be used for several purposes; i.e. making a job seeking decision, proclaiming the attributes of a company, and finally; revealing a company's disregard as well as disrespect for its employees. During a recession you will be able to separate a successful company from the rest by how they treat their employees. It's easy to say you are like family-prove it. Don't change job descriptions, respect personal situations, be consistent with policies and procedures. Drone? Now you may have pissed off the real 'Eddie'. Becareful, you may be flipping burgers, blowing in the wind, or just going back to night school to take a few English classes.......

Whats up guys? this is 201 the guy who put the first post about ERMC. I still have hope that oneday this company will become a perfect company but until then I hope everyone "ERMC" included have a safe summer and try to love your neighbor, and I hope that we all will come to a happy ending to this.

I will address this statement. I will be 52 on my next birthday. I have been doing security work since 1985. I know this information is insignificant to most of you who are out there. I will get to my point. As I stated I have been in the security field longer than most of you have been alive. The blatant lack of respect shown by people like Eddie Russell, and Joey B. Is what aggravates the hell out of me. I have most likely forgotten more about security, than you 2 pinheads will ever learn. According to Eddie, and Joey B. We are supposed to let ERMC treat their eployees anyway they want to, and the employees aren't allowed to say anything about it. I told the security directors at my former site, that I am not a yes man, if I don't like something I will tell them so. The directors respected that. ERMC don't like people who speak their minds, they terminate them. I am proof of that.

Ya,I worked as a guard at a prison for many years until I got hurt.The robotic followers seem to think you have no right to complain or try to change things- you quit. Where would we be if all Americans simply removed their spine and laid back as the bosses wiped their shoes on our heads? How about the unions that withheld after the Great Depression? In the mid- 1800's the Irish were horribly discriminated against and had the worst jobs known to man; then came Afro-Americans, European Americans, Hispanic, Asian, and so on. How about female employees that have endured 'quid pro quo', sexual harrassment, as well as some men? Where in the history books does it say the good employee is the dutiful do- gooder without an independent thought in their heads? The more we question policies, procedures, and working conditions- the closer the business will get to a cooperative, highly productive, and progressive team. There are indeed some people out there that need the money, are not self confident, and are followers. God Bless them, for if they think their employer is applauding their blind allegiance and will reward their complicity- I have some swamp land they may like for a watering hole.....

Everyone has a place in this world. I can build you a house from top to bottom, but I can't fix my truck, I don't know how!! I am not an auto mechanic. Everyone fits in, and has a place in the employment chain. Don't belittle people for their place!!

They deserve to pay. They all deserve to pay.

So thank you for your opion, but you know what opions are like. Everyone has one.

Hello Tony Sorry about your Situtaion but if you stil want to do something about it,Please get intouch with me at ceobvctn@aol.com Thanks I am interested in what happened to you

Tony in Rocky Mount, Virginia said: I strongly dislike ERMC. too, but I don't make threats that are this bad!

I agree, I wish this company...a wake up call; a sudden change of heart; maybe even a spiritual awakening- but no, it is not productive nor healthy to wish a person ill will.

I added 1 letter too many in my last statement, Sorry Eddie, Or Eddy, or how ever you spell your freaking name, just deal with it!!!!

Tony in Hardy Virgina I have been trying to talk to you about ERMC and what happened to you Please Contact me @ ceobvctn@aol.com Maybe we can get you some relief

Whats up Tony? How have you been doing? Fine I hope. On the question on how to cahnge or keep your location the same, I think you have to create a new profile. This might work. Tony I am still amazed after almost 4 years this blog is still active. I still think oneday ERMC will get "Right". I still miss the mall but I making $$$$$$$$ where I am at. LOL. I hope you had a good summer and and a safer warmer winter. Just keep your head-up and stay positive. Things will always get better. Hang in there..K.

Hey 201, It's been a long time, since we talked. I am glad things are going well for you. I was terminated because I made it clear how I felt about scrubbing the Mall floors on 3rd shift, and have been black balled since July. Take care 201, will talk to you again.

Do you really think Eddie Russell would be this stupid to use his own name?? Get real people!!!

whoops wrong forum.

I actually do think Eddie Russell would post here under his real name. I suspect the entire Russell clan spends their leisure time sitting on their haunches grooming each other and throwing feces at the wall.

wow nothing has changed!

Does anyone know the best way to get Frank Mongeon's schedule? I am aware that he bounces around from mall to mall in different states. A court summons needs to be served to him at his work place regarding a personal matter.

Please respond to this post only if you can help.

Does the rule that ermc mall employees cannot work for mall merchants apply to security guards that repairs jewlery for places such as kays jewelers and other jewlerey business located inside the mall?And if not does ermc have a policy allowing him to conduct his business while on duty?

You can not work for ANY tenant in the mall at all. You can't repair jewelry, HVAC work, clean, service vending machines, take care of stroller vendors, I think you get the idea. And what company on earth would let you conduct YOUR business on THEIR dime. They say there is no such thing as a stupid question, I think I just found one. Good luck to you!

The question was asked because there is a guard employeed with ERMC that has been doing this for years.Of course he is bf with the security supervisor so enough said.Its all about who you know.

There was a jewelry repair business that moved into this mall and did not stay long.The owner said they would have never moved in if they knew this guard already has all the mall repair business.

I worked at my site for 11 years and was terminated for ONE minor mistake, without going into great detail and jeopardizing my case.... had never been written up nor reprimanded, matter fact received 2 director of the year awards and several employee of the month awards. My attorneys and I have already spoken to several current and previous employees /directors that I had the oppurtunity to work with at several different sites.
I found this page and would love it if any of the current or previous employees whom have had issues would like to contact me and share information, it would be strictly confidential, as I now know first hand ERMC will stoop very low to save a dime! I can be reached at juliev986@aol.com

New Kid On the Block in Greensboro, North Carolina said: Ok, I hear you all,
#1 Become problem solvers not, Not part of the problem.
#2 All of you have access to an employees manual right! read it. This is how you protect yourself from unethical employees in any company.
#3 Make them accountable for their questionable behavoirs by reminding them of the binding information that is in the policy manual.
#4.Document and take notes of repeated negative activity.
#5. Smile until you find another Job!!! and Quit.
#6. Write letters to the proper authorities make copies and keep them coming and stop crying boo Who did what!!!
An A hole is a sorry thing when constipated with stuff or when it comes out loose uncontrolably.
Veterans remember the crap you took during basic training, It was designed to make you resillent to torture. can you take it in the ERMC Army? Then Go Awol.Be the example you want others to be.

As a veteran of two wars and recipient of the purple heart and bronze star I am very offended at your remarks. I have worked for ERMC and the indignities I had to endure there had no place in the work field.

i have sent emails to Emerson Russell, and Rodney Jackson beging them to give me my postion back at River Ridge Mall. I have not heard from either one of them. I know alot of people don't agree with ERMC, but having a job with this Company is Better than not having a job at all.

Honey Badger would care more than ERMC. Once you have been "fired" you are black-balled. I'd look elsewhere and dust ERMC off as one bad experience. Good luck.

One problem, how do you explain a 7 year gap?

Always be truthful when filling out apps--in this case whatever you were doing volunteer work, caring for family member, consulting. You also have option of not giving permission for prospective employer to not contact a previous employer. Not sure what your circumstances were but can pretty much guess frommy experiences. Remember this is a company that is family run and they have two sets of rules those for family & friends and those for all others. ERMC's reputation is known industry wide. enuf said

CBL gets a percentage cut of every dime ERMC makes. They own ERMC. This is why ERMC doesn't go away.

ERMC (or the wife of Emerson Russell at least) owns the company that makes the uniforms all the employees are required to buy (and they're not cheap) out of their first paychecks.

Every time ERMC fires an employee and hires a new one, they make another uniform sale.

You might think they like firing people?
