Yes, I used to work here. A lot of the things that they are doing is illegal. I personally witnessed them not returning phone calls of people who left messages saying "I have a charge on my account from Strictly Health, I have never heard of you guys nor purchased anything from this company, please call me back." There was never a phone call made back to that person. I've also witnessed the head of the company telling the sales person (who is also his wife) not to take someone off autoship that had just called asking to be taken off autoship!
"Rita Green" does not exist. That is a made up name so that customers won't put two and two together and figure out that it is really just husband and wife running the company. And his wife literally Skype's her mother in Russia all. day. long. She doesn't do her job, constantly talks rude to customers on the phone and hangs up on them so she can get back to her conversation with her mom. There are currently three employees working there. Like, really?! These people are scam artists, I was scammed out of my paychecks as an employee.
The management has no respect for its employeees and constantly talks down to them. On my second day working there, they both left me alone at the office from about 10am to 3pm. No one told me what I should have been doing in the mean time, nor was I told how long they would be gone.
I took this job right out of college out of desperation after applying to over 100 different jobs nationwide. I saw this job posting on my college's career posting site. I called the school to ask them about this company and they said people had complained about it before and advised me not to go to the interview at all. I went against my better judgement because I was so desperate for a job and ended up having to move to a new city for it.
I was told my first paycheck was withheld and that that is "normal" yet when talking to my friend who is in law school, I come to find out this is illegal. I should also add that on the job posting, it did not say the company name was Strictly Health. It said Cyber Business Technology, which isn't even a company. (seriously, go to the website and it's a one page site that doesn't even state what the "company" is). I know they posted the job under a different name because obviously people go and look up information about company's before they accept a job. Clearly, I would not have accepted this job if I had seen all these reviews. Scam artists.
Within my "90-day probationay period" I was let go because I "had to keep asking what I should be doing the next day". In the design industry, there is always something new to be done every day, so I rest my case. This also conveniently occurred on the very last day of the month when I had rent and bills due.
I am only hoping that someone will at least see this and not order from them, or accept any job offers from them, and especially not pick up everything and leave all their friends and family to move for a job only to find out it's all a scam.
