Rhino LED Reviews

  • Oct 19, 2015

I was job searching on the internet and came across TCI and the job title was public relations it had stated they wanted to train someone to be able to manage others, and mentioned all these great benefits and opportunities they offer. So I was intrigued I applied and I received a call back shortly after and was asked to come in for an interview. Pulling into the parking lot I came across a security booth and before I had a chance to say anything the guard says TCI? I said yes and thought to myself hmm they must be popular. I walked into the office on time and the receptionist handed me a paper to fill out and I was told to fill it out in the lounge area. I noticed other young women and men filling out the same single sheet as I had. I had the interview with George and one of the things that had me skeptical was when I asked him about the base salary. He tried to beat around the bush saying he's not sure it depends. That we other sister companies such as makeup they make between $37k - $42k a year. Then when speaking about the product itself he said that Ryan Irish the Ceo is this pioneer he and his partner came up with a chip that they place in these Led lights that makes them last 50,000 hours so they'll roughly last 15-17 years. He stated that Phillips, GE, and other companies have tried to replicate what they have but unsuccessfully, factories have burnt down, recalls have been made at Home Depot and other retail stores. He also claimed Ryan Irish was approached by Apple and how they offered him $9 billion dollars and how Ryan turned them down. George then said yea man you came at the perfect time. He stated they have an office in California as well and its really taking off. The lights themselves are manufactured here in US up in Utica, NY.

The 2nd interview i sat down with this Albanian kid Tim who I was going to be shadowing out in the field. He said the same things George did pretty much just a little bit more detailed about the job, but some things caught my ear. Such as when I mentioned salary again he said yea I don't know you'll have to talk to Ryan, and mentioned how Ryan has this cutting edge technology and how Apple is buying him out. I said i thought he turned them down according to George? He was like yea? Hmm maybe i heard wrong uh yea so he's looking at pulling in $22 million this year alone. After we were done talking he asked when I could start I said immediately. We walked toward the office but as you looked through the blinds it was packed with people standing up ( turned out to be their makeup line I believe makeover essentials). I came to find out there was no meeting it was the makeup people who they got brainwashed and they were giving the rah rah speech. Tim says you know what I don't want to interrupt their meeting your hired and your starting tomorrow. I felt a little skeptical but figured I'd give it a shot.

So I came in the next morning and we listened to Ryan give all the newest people such as myself and all the makeup people an inspiring speech. He stated how he came from nothing and where it lead him today. That he's 29 now and since the age of 20 he's been making more money than his parents put together. That it takes adversity in your life to get you to become successful. I then sat down with Ryan and some other representatives. I thanked him for his inspiring speech, and that i been through some things and how I aspire to be successful like him and that I'm ready to get the ball rolling. Then they had me sign some things which required my social security number, and driver's license for I assumed a background check. As I'm filling this paperwork out Tim is trying to get me to hurry up that we need to go. Are you almost finished, but I'm taking my time reading. I notice that the job doesn't have a base salary only commission I mentioned it to Tim and he said yea its only commission which he and George could've told me in the 1st and 2nd interviews when I asked about it. I noticed it didn't have any benefits either that they claimed they offered. Now i was feeling really skeptical but I wasn't working at time so i thought don't hurt to give it a shot.

I then went out in the field with Tim and told him how Ryans speech hit home with me. That i cant wait to turn some of this negative stuff to positive in my life. He asked if i did sales before i mentioned this scam company about 7 years ago. I stated that they had a portion of the office that sold makeup and another portion that sold toys. He said oh Ryan used to sell toys he was really good at it what's the name of the company? Where is it? I said i don't remember the name just that it was in Great Neck. I told him that it was a scam that the toy company was supposed to be for charity but only a portion of the profits went to charity, and that saleman got paid peanuts and that i quit after a couple weeks. I also mentioned how i got recently scammed by Yancey Events and was able to recover most of the money. As we went door to door doing direct marketing we were getting no one, and most of the owners weren't around. Some of the people claimed we had came there before, and had gotten ripped off saying they left a deposit but we never came back. Tim claimed it wasn't them, and he told me privately that someone is on his map. We sold no Led's and he said in the 3 months of working for Rhino it never happened to him before. We went back to the office as the day was done and I asked him if we were working on Monday being that its Columbus Day. He said he had his sisters wedding the next day and wasn't sure but he'd let me know either tomorrow or sunday. He never called being that he said he had his sisters wedding on Saturday I left him alone and called Sunday. He said he still didn't know that he'd call George to find out and get back to me in a few minutes. 2 hours goes by i call back and he doesn't answer so I left an voicemail. I go back on Tuesday since I assumed it wasn't open. As i came into the office and sat down i overheard one of the other reps say he wasn't able to make it yesterday because his brother had one of his testicles removed due to testicular cancer. I said you guys were here yesterday? He said yes. I said sorry about your brother that I know what he's going through that my grandmother just got over breast cancer. He then went on to say he looks up to his brother even though he's younger and I said this past weekend would've been my brothers 28th birthday that he died over drug overdose a few years back. Tim stepped into the office and i approached him and said you guys were here yesterday and you didn't call me. He said you never called me I replied yes I did. Then i said am I shadowing you today? He says no I'm going to be with Elija that there going to be giving out teams now. They put me with this guy Mike P. and we went to the deli first talked about some things. We took seperate cars because he said with me being living out east and that being where we were going to work that i could just drive home afterwards instead of going all the way back to Queens.

As i got in my car to go follow him i seen him on his phone. He got out of the car and walked up to mine and said we have to talk. He then goes on to tell me that they want to send me home for the day. I said does this have to do with me not showing up yesterday? Because I can explain that. He said no its because they been getting complaints about you. That your negging people out talking about cancer and drugs. That its making people feel uncomfortable. Its bringing people down and then they can't do their jobs effectively and I said who Tim??! He said he and 3 other people. At that point I was completely confused and said I'd only been on the job one day. That I havent spoken to anyone besides Tim who i was shadowing Friday, Big Mike today who was telling me about his brother, and the sitdown i had with Ryan where a few other reps were present. I said this is ridiculous I only brought up the cancer thing this morning because i can relate to it, and i had a brother once to who died of drugs so it was relevent to the conversation. As far as what i said with Tim I had only mentioned those things because I was ready to go. That so many negative things have happened recently that i need some positive in my life, and how hopefully this job will lead to something good. Mike P said yea its not coming from me that Ryan will give me a call later on. That tell him what i had just said and there's no doubt he'd give me a second chance, and if I don't get a call from Ryan to call him instead. I never got a call and didn't bother to call Mike P. I thought how am I going to work at a job where people are already talking s*** behind my back that don't even know me, and don't have the decency to sit me down and tell me all this face to face, but instead have it told to me through a 3rd party. I've never been hired and fired the following work day and I've had many jobs.

So I decided to look into Rhino Led and come to find out that they are professional thieves. That those who actually sell these bulbs get fired for bs reasons so they don't see a time. I just find it funny that they fired me before I had a chance to go out in the field and sell anything. Did I perhaps scare them off when I mentioned some pyramid shemes i had worked for in the past? Or did they get all they need from me when they got my social security number, drivers license id, and signature and now plan to scam me over? Perhaps purchase a bunch of lightbulbs in my name. Anyways there is some shady things going on with this company and they need to be looked into for sure. Sincerely, Dana M
