I also was an employee of this "company" last fall. When it got to be too much for me to take on a daily basis, I kindly gave my two week notice. The Sunday night before my last week, I received a text message (Jenni's main way of communicating with her "guys") saying "Take Monday off." The next day I received a message saying "Don't bother coming in, I will mail your checks to you." About a week later I called to see where my checks were. No answer at either the office or Jenni's cell. I called several more times and still did not get to talk to anyone. The last time I called, a recording played on the office phone saying the line had been disconnected. I knew then that I was never going to get paid. Now it is tax time, and from what I've been reading on here, it looks as if I will not only never get my paychecks, but I will not see a W-2 either. I drove by the office today, saw a notice from the landlords wanting to know where there rent was. We're not the only ones who will never see our money we are owed.

I moved to Louisville at the end of May, and was desperate for a job. I got my resume out there, and within days, got a job with Orion Promotions, after going through both first and second round interviews... I should have known from the beginning that it was a scam, but I was desperate, and needed something right away. I was out in the sun for hours at a time, worked sixteen hour days, six days a week. My fiance can attest to how much I put into this company, including two, week-long road trips to Bowling Green and Paducah, on our OWN gas! We had to pay for our own food, and one of those weeks, I'd specifically asked not to be sent on a trip as it was my birthday. Did anyone care? Nope. Several people hired after me were "promoted" before me and "awarded" trips that I'd worked my hind end off for. Finally, when I got sick and landed in the hospital with bronchitis, I missed two days. I called in, let Jenni know I wouldn't be there, and when I came back, brought her a doctors note. I was then called into her office and told I couldn't "act sick", despite coughing up a lung pretty much. That was my final straw. I talked it over with the fiance, went back, and quit. When I went back that Friday for my check, she came in [Jenni'd been out at an event] and said I'd better call HER before coming to HER office again. Well, I'd tried to call her cell phone AND the office with no answer. To this day she still owes me a check, which she could have easily mailed me. She not only owes me $100 in wages, but she also owes me $40 for a grill she asked me to pick up for the office for team night, that I brought her the receipt for. This was back in August. I still haven't heard anything from them, and I can't get ahold of anyone there to get my W2s to do my taxes. There isn't even a listing for Orion Promotions, Inc., Rising Tide, Inc [which was the same company], or 334 Production Court. Their phone number has even been disconnected.
