FRED WANISKA THE REGIONAL DIRECTOR OF TEXAS PICTURE ME AND JIM MADDOX THE VP OF PICTURE ME...HORRIBLE SUPERVISORS
I to have worked directly under Fred Waniska and what I have witnessed is horrible. The sad thing is Jim Maddox knows all about it and protects his "Good ol'boy". There are numerous sexual harassment allegations against Fred and they have all mystically disappeared and the girls who accused Fred have all been fired, with the help of Jim. From what I have heard there is a class action lawsuit against Fred and the company and I would love to hear how to get involved, I have witnessed so many things that never should of happened. If an employee was over weight he would say they are unprofessional and find a reason to fire them since we can not fire a person for being fat. He told me I had to wear my hair down and styled everyday, my nails had to be done, and that I had to wear more makeup. One of the employees numbers were down because she worked in a high bi-lingual studio and she was not bi-lingual he assumed because she was Hispanic that she was and when he found out she was not bi-lingual he told her to learn Spanish so she could get her numbers up or she would lose her job, she started crying and he said quit crying like a little baby. He always talked behind everyones back thinking we do not talk to each other. He constantly used foul language directed at you and talked down to you. I planned to take a week off for my wedding Fred approved it then when it came time for the week off he said sorry you have to cut it short so I got 4 days off for my wedding and on the day my family came in town and we were suppose to be getting everything together Fred called me and I spent all day in the computer doing reports, I was not allowed to take my honeymoon directly after my wedding, I had to wait a month later when the time came for my trip Fred gave me the third degree that I was going and threated my job, witch was nothing new he threatens everyones job every day, he screws up and you are the one to blame. I went to Della in the HR department multiple times about him and so did some of my other coworkers, and surprise we all ended up getting fired. Della in HR is protecting Fred and Jim is helping her. CPI is the worst company to work for I would not recommend anyone to work there ever.

HE'S BEEN FIRED! FRED WANISKA WILL NOT BE HARMING FEMALE EMPLOYEES ANY LONGER...CPI FIRED ADELLA TOO, BUT MATTOX IS STILL THERE. SAD THING IS THAT CPI HAD FRED WANISKA SIGN FANTASTIC $$$$ SEVERANCE PACKAGE WHICH INCLUDED THAT ANY LAWSUITS FILED AGAINST HIM THE COMPANY (CPI) IS NOT LIABLE FOR AND FRED WOULD TAKE ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY MONEY AWARDED. PERSONAALY, DONT THINK THAT CAN HOLD UP SINCE THERE ARE DOCUMENTED COMPLAINTS FOR YEARS AT CPI, BUT LADIES RALLY UP...FILE THOSE LAW SUITS AND LET THE HEADS START TO ROLL, MATTOX SHOULD BE NEXT HE KNOWS EVERYTHING, AND IF ENOUGH OF US GET TOGETHER I KNOW WHERE THE PROOF IS.

I worked for Fred Waniska for P.C.A from assistant studio Manager to a district Manager and I have only great things to say about him.
