I interviewed for a DOS position. I interviewed over the phone and went in for a face to face interview. The person interviewing me was 15 minutes late, a clear indication of how much they value their employees. It was a standard interview and I felt it went well. I was very forthcoming as to my abilities and skill set, my salary requirements, working hour expectations and benefits. The conversation seemed to come to mutual agreement.
I was called in for a 2nd in-person interview at the Corporate Office. At the end of that conversation, I was given a job offer letter with 50% of the salary that had been discussed and another document stating that if I stayed with the company less than 1 year I would reimburse LAP 100% for the mandatory IHG training and travel expenses. I was expected to accept the offer and sign the offer letter right then and there.
My thought is if they have had to go as far as developing a policy about repayment for training, turnover has to be a HUGE problem. I felt the entire experience was underhanded and disingenuous on the part of LAP. I walked away feeling completely creeped out by the entire experience. I would never want to associate with such dishonest and deceitful people.
