I registered in JRP in August of Santa Clara. My mom has been trying to dispute the money, but they wont give it. i think the media should get attention with JRP. Please reply and ill give u my email. It has been a waste of time. I got nothing back. We've been trying to get our money back, but their being very... The new owner has done nothing and also the old owner. The new owner hung up on the phone with me. They are a big scam and don't need anything except money. I got no services.  Comments (13) |  |

| 2. Written by Former Employee, on 25-09-2008 12:44 Most of the people defending JRP here on this site are JRP employees. They are claiming to be students, still scamming people after the damage is already done. This is my message to them: The world knows that you are a scam. Give it up. Stop attempting to defend that pi** poor excuse for a 'school.' If you think your helping the company out, you're not. Because the moment they start to go under, they throw you under the bus by bouncing you paychecks and changing ownership. Save yourself, not that scam... get out of there while you still can." |

| 6. Written by duh, on 02-07-2008 11:14 Lets get down to the facts "Kaylah" JRP wants your money... and they are using high pressure sales tactics on young actors and models.... that is completely unfair to the parents and children who are sucked into this school from false advertisments... dont pay attention to the flase advertisments on the radio saying they have agencies from Disney.... Miley Cyrus got her fame from her father!!! if you are so incredibly talented, an agent wouldve personally approched you and given YOU the money to model, act, or sing for them.... "Maybe your just not talented enough sorry" thats a horrible thing for you to say... my boyfriend has so much talent, he can sing and act in school plays.... but he doesnt have enough money to pay off for this stupid school... and now he has to pay for those stupid auditions when they promised he would get his money back from doing comercials nation wide... he has been accepted for ONE audition and once he got there they told him he needed a monolougue.. he totally wasted his money when he couldve gotten into a good college,plus his hopes and dreams are basically shattered because he thinks he didnt try hard enough... JRP IS A SCAM EVEN IF YOU DO GAIN SUCCESS BECAUSE ALL THEY WANT IS YOUR MONEY AND YOURE JUST LUCKY!!!! why would they accept "untallented" children anyway... they are greedy, merciless and ruthless.... |

Written by Le Student, on 14-06-2008 15:09 Hello i am one of the students at JRP. i am also a human just like you. i dont enjoy being scammed but... now listen ppl you all say we scam and cheat you but everything is clearly difined in the contract you just have to read it. also you all say that im a bad person and i just want money... your wrong. i care for everychild in my care and i would appreciate it if you all stop acting like twits and get to undertand how the entertainment business work. in my experience i have also seen that the children who suceed and feel they got their moneys worth are the children who work and push and keep trying no matter what. where as the children who fail and dont feel they got their moneys worth are the ones who just show up and look around waiting for mommy and daddy to pay her/his way into everything. sorry ppl but wake up and look at the facts. JRP is not at fault, the ppl who dont work to win are the ones who lose. congatulations to the ppl who suceed you worked for it. suck it to the ppl who just expect it, you really are stupid  hope this helped JRP rocks love, Le Student  |
| 8. Written by STUDENT at John Robert Powers, on 05-06-2008 15:05 I have just spent the last hour going on comsumer report websites and reading what the rest of the US has to say about John Robert Powers. So far, I have heard nothing but horrible things. Most of the time, these horrible things have been written by PARENTS of children that are or have attended JRP. I am fifteen years old and I am currently attending JRP. This is my opinion about John Robert Powers, Santa Clara: I have definitely experienced a lot of bad things while with JRP. I find it extremely difficult to get ahold of the manager when I need to talk to her and I find it extremely frustrating that since I signed the contract, there have been 5-6 different managers. Just recently, they have undergone a change in ownership because the head of JRP is sick of hearing complaints about this particular JRP. Even though I have been unhappy with the manager, I can honestly say that I have learned a great amount at JRP. I am an aspiring actress and without JRP, I would be getting nowhere. I have an agency located in NYC and I have appeared in a commercial on VH1, all thanks to JRP. All of the teachers that I have been educated by are very experienced and know a great deal of information. Even though it is unorganized, I feel like I owe John Robert Powers a HUGE thank you. |
