This is my experience with Rehablist.com,
I accepted a job with Rehablist.com with the promise of an uncapped sales commission position with warm leads. I was enthused about the prospect of working with good people and in a supporting company that provided a safety net of $400 for each of the first two weeks to provide a learning curve. Their Sales Manager Ken Rich sold me the job and I had a good feeling going into the company, despite some of the poor commentary I'd read online about them.
This however was the end of my good feelings, on my first actual day of training I realized how poorly they lived up to their talk and also learnt how they acquire their sales leads. Their so-called warm leads are people who have visited their website and were silly enough to use their actual phone number to login into the website (which is the only way to see what Rehablist actually offer), the leads provided to their sales staff aren't even fresh, as anyone on the call list could have been called multiple times before and many have requested (yet again) to never be called again which they'd express to me when I called them, many other phone numbers were disconnected or inaccurate. Rehablist doesn't even have a computerized system to record the called numbers and the outcome, leading to their sloppy paper based system and the virtual harassment of website visitors time and time again even after they have demanded they don't want to be called.
After my first week I'd had enough and called multiple times on Monday to let them know that I couldn't work with them anymore, having had my calls go unanswered all morning I continued to look for work elsewhere. Later in the day someone returned my call and said they would be forwarding my contracted $400 payment for the first week.
Two weeks later the check hadn't arrived and I rang repeatedly without having my calls returned, after persistent calling Melissa, the HR lady returned my call and said the check must have been lost in the mail and they would issue me another one if I paid the $50 stop check fee. I rang a few govt agency's and learned that since Rehablist.com decided to use post to issue me a check, they would have to pay the stop check fee, a small victory I thought, then they told me that they were now only going to pay me the national minimum wage of $5.85 per hour, not the contracted amount we had agreed upon.
I again sought professional advice and was made aware that it was illegal to pay me less than the Florida minimum wage of $6.72 and they would be fined if they failed to do that, the wages and labor division of Florida faxed them a letter explained their obligation to pay me. After more calls they promised to mail me a check the following day, 5 more days passed and still no check, after calling yet again they informed me that they would now only be paying me the Florida minimum wage and that they would post it out the following Friday.
The next week arrived but the check didn't, I rang again and they said they didn't get to it and that they would post it next Friday. The following week still nothing, I called again and I demanded to pick it up to ensure I received it, after I was not allowed to collect my first paycheck (which would have avoided most of this fuss) they agreed to let me pick up this paycheck. So after 6 weeks of contest, I am now holding a check for just over half of what I was initially contracted for.
Overall this was a traumatic experience and all contact with management ended unsatisfactorily, even their owner Mike Collins who talked up Rehablist.com as a company with integrity refused to answer my calls or emails when I attempted to resolve this issue. The company failed to live up to the standards that sold the company to me by their Sales managers, their conduct after I had left the company, their breaches of employment law (paying me after the next pay cycle is illegal, and intending to pay me less than Florida Minimum Wage) I can only be left with a bitter taste in my mouth.
For your own protection I cannot say strongly enough not to work for this company, their commission structure while initially appealing doesn't take into account that the majority of your leads aren't even connected numbers, and if the management decides to be difficult with you then you'll have to consider legal action like I am, they even refused to give me a copy of the contract I signed with them, after assurances from the manager who hired me that he'd get me the $400 that was promised, he came back and said he'd be recommending that I get paid nothing because he didn't like me questioning the way they do business.
I am now left with the prospect of small claims court to retrieve the money owed; I hope this helps save someone else the trouble of working for Rehablist or Mike Collins.
