Call & hangup, did a little snooping online and scared up a few things including the following post:
JOB SEEKERS BEWARE OF TCNK, INC a.k.a. TCNK GROUP, INC These are tough times in the present economy and those of us who are hardworking are willing to work. Unfortunately, hardworking people are often the ones who get the short-end of the stick when dealing with employers like TCNK, Inc. a.k.a. TCNK Group, Inc., 3612 Crosstimbers Drive, Greensboro, NC 27410. Telephone no. 336-540--8668, Fax no. 336-510-7731. The President or Boss is listed as Joseph Hopkins. Contact personnel are: Felicity Kirson, Suzanne, Betty Jean Jones, Betty Creed, etc.
I recently worked for TCNK after answering a job listing on Craigslist for Promo/Product Sampling, essentially to be a Brand Ambassador. I was hired by Felicity Kirson who is listed as the Director. To say the least, she is not Ms. Congeniality but will act as if she is when trying to ensnare you into taking a job on behalf of TCNK so she can collect her paycheck. After working at the promo job and doing a good job, I had to threaten Felicity with contacting the Attorney General in Greensboro to file a complaint if my pay was not sent to me immediately. So, she wired the money to me. I had to do that because after waiting for over a week to receive my pay, the check did not arrive. In fact as of today, Sunday, March 4, 2012, the alleged check still did not arrive. And, from what she quoted me over the phone, had I received the check, it would have been for the wrong amount because the company's Payroll listed my pay rate for two dollars less per hour than the amount she said I would be paid.
Furthermore, that Felicity character is a piece of work, as she had the audacity to say that the check was only short a few dollars. I had to inform the user that a few dollars could cause problems for someone who does not have regular income. She finally seemed as if she got it that A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE US ARE HURTING FINANCIALLY AND SO A FEW DOLLARS MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Anyway, JOB SEEKERS BEWARE!
