Pros

Any job - ANY JOB that you take after this one will seem like a wonderful dream job and you will be so happy to have it!

Cons

I made the mistake of not reading the other reviews before agreeing to a job with Firequench. They had me interview on a Saturday (which was a little unusual for me, but ok). The woman that interviewed me was a little off-putting, but I filled out the lengthy application and that was that. She interviewed me for about 30 seconds, offered me an administrative assistant position, asked me to start Monday and was done. Uh, ok. Monday rolls around and I show up there - not one hello, welcome, nothing. Fill out this form. Sit here and answer this phone. There was a printed script taped to the desk. Now, I don't mind covering phones, but I specifically mentioned not wanting to be a receptionist. And, here I am, 10 minutes in....answering the phone, at the front desk. About 30 minutes after that, I try to ask a question - (same woman) says "you have to take a proper message!" Ok. I've been here 40 minutes. She gave me busy work (typing the handwritten messages - no message that reflected well in the company) and answering the phones. At one point the owner called and started screaming at me because the phone rang too many times (I was already on the phone). Ok, enough of this. I had been there 4 hours at this point. Hours for this position 8am-6pm. Yes, 10 hour shift with a 30 minute "break". I spoke with someone who works there and she mentioned that many, many people start and never return from their "breaks". I don't blame them. I lasted one full day. I don't expect to be paid. I googled the company and saw there are a few DOL complaints. I won't use their names because you can find them easily on your own. There are other jobs out there. Anywhere else. Good luck.
