I initially had my first interview via a Zoom meeting, then was accepted to go into an in-person second interview with them. HIERO INC is a small company with a positive and professional atmosphere. However, the more I looked at their marketing methods, and they informed me about what they do and how amazing the pay was, helping low-income households by providing free government phones, etc., the it made me suspect that it was an MLM scheme. Their whole marketing tactic is on a more direct hands-on approach with customers. Although they’re supposedly backed by T-Mobile for the phones and government funded, it just sounds way too good to be true. I got a call later today after finishing the second interview and they told me that I was hired.
Doubt started to creep in, and the more I looked into them, and finding almost little to no reputable information regarding this certain company, the less compelled I felt on actually coming in to submit my paperwork to be ‘officially hired’. I think I’m just gonna pass them and move on. What a shame.
I immediately found a few things you should take as a note: the company operates under the MLM scheme, which is very debatable. One of the interviewers wrote below.
“I have an interview with them tomorrow. I even told my friends that I have an interview but I have no idea what the company does and didn’t understand the job description when I read it. Wayyyy to many buzzwords. They called me and I didn’t answer then they emailed me and I didn’t answer, then they texted me. Every job that i’ve applied for that texts me has ended up being the worst job i’ve ever had. I got suspicious and looked at their facebook and was wondering why they only posted about their team but not their so called clients and success stories. Then as always… I found my answer on Reddit. I can’t believe people have time and effort to create scammy companies like this.”

I recommended staying away from Hiero Inc.
They are a scam. They make you go to dangerous places, give out free phones, and claim to have a training program to get into management, but they never promote anyone. They pay you a commission, and you work 12-hour days, and for training, you get paid 75 for 12-hour days—the biggest scam. Beware. A lot of other companies do this out there. I’ve been interviewed by many who claim to have this management training program BS, and they’re just MLM.
Can you ask other interviewers to come here and share their experiences? Your is truly valuable, but the more, the better.
