Pros

The interviewer was very likable and friendly.

Cons

To be clear, I never actually worked for them (for reasons explained below), but hopefully this is an isolated incident instead of the norm. I ignored all the negative reviews and interviewed for the QDS (Quality Documentation Specialist) position. After a couple weeks, I was scheduled for an interview. A couple of days after that, I was informed - via email - that I was being offered the job. I completed the steps to accept the offer as soon as I received it. I was then told I would receive information via email from HR within 3-7 business days. I even sent a thank you email to my interviewer because she was so nice, and I was grateful for the opportunity. That's something I NEVER do. Three or four days later, received an email from the interviewer stating that my job - the job I was OFFERED and ACCEPTED - was filled. I was then offered a DIFFERENT job within the company, that by all accounts was much more stressful, for the same amount of pay. I should have paid attention to all the negative reviews, but tried to give them a fair shake. This is the first time I've ever experienced a bait-and-switch while applying for a job; needless to say it feels like a huge slap in the face. Was this part of the plan all along, or is there just a complete lack of internal communication? Do they intentionally overhire, due to the high turnover? Whatever the reason, this was the worst hiring experience I've ever been a part of.

Pros

I believe there's flexibility in some hours. Paid training.

Cons

My onboarding process has taken over 2 months and I've only clocked in for mandatory trainings with little to no communication from managers or hiring staff. $10 an hour.
