Horrible Hiring Experience

Pros

Great Hourly Pay Offered Schedule offered seems great

Cons

The company brings in 40 candidates to interview publicly in front of everyone. Then, without much notice, they ask 20 to leave and offer the remaining individuals a job on the spot. Immediately, these new hires are told they must memorize a detailed script within two days. Those who fail—many of whom have already quit their previous jobs for this opportunity—are promptly let go. Throughout the week, anyone who doesn't have the script perfectly memorized is terminated, creating an environment that feels more like a reality show audition than a professional hiring process. This approach reflects poor hiring practices, especially considering people made significant sacrifices to accept the position, only to be fired days later over unrealistic expectations. You have every new hire stand in front of the entire group and try to recite a script they barely received just 2–3 days prior. It feels less like training and more like a firing squad. This process is unfair, stressful, and honestly, quite disrespectful. You should seriously reconsider how you onboard new employees—this approach sets people up to fail rather than supporting their success. They didn’t take the time to tell us anything about the company—how it started, who founded it, or even what the bigger vision is. You’d think the first week would be focused on training, orientation, and helping new hires feel prepared. Instead, it felt like a week-long interview where we were constantly being evaluated, despite already being “hired.” Many of us left stable jobs for this opportunity, only to be thrown into a high-pressure environment with no real support or onboarding. That’s not how you build trust—or a strong team.
