Complaint Resolution Index (CRI)

Complaint Resolution Index (CRI) Explained The Complaint Resolution Index (CRI) is an indicator on how responsive a company is in addressing and resolving customer complaints brought to their attention by BCA. If they are considering doing business with the company, consumers can use this indicator to forecast the likelihood of having their issues addressed if a problem arises. CRI measures the company's customer satisfaction abilities through BCA’s complaint mediation process.

A variety of factors are considered when calculating CRI. This includes how quickly a company responds to complaints, the number of complaints against a company, whether the company addressed complaint allegations, and the outcome of the complaints. CRI is just a subset of the overall rating for the company. Consumers are encouraged to take into consideration the company's CRI, their overall BCA letter rating and other relevant information about the company so they can make a well-informed purchasing decision.

Comments and Analysis

The company purports to offer jobs or training in the radio broadcasting industry. They place ads in local newspapers on internet sites and send email solicitations for available positions as radio announcers or Disc Jockeys. We believe their advertising is deceptive or misleading. Respondents are led to believe they are answering an employment ad but after attending an audition paying a non refundable $40 fee posting a $98 press pass deposit and signing a contrac they learn that no actual employment opportunity exists. By paying the fees imposed by the company respondents buy air time and produce their own shows as an independent contractor. ~~When responding to a job ad use caution if you are asked for money to apply. Companies hiring you will pay you. You should not have to pay for the priviledge of working for them.

Other Considerations

We know of no other matter or practice relating to this company that may assist you in your consideration of this company.
