There’s nothing worse than discovering that there’s no structure and no organization.

[Actias]

If they tell you “they are one big family” set ship status to red alert.

[normanlennox]

"You're on your own". Exactly what I am going through right now.

[raygraham]

One thing that I am struggling with in my new job is that there is no structured training and I feel that it is a sink or swim environment. That in my opinion doesn’t set up the candidate for success and instead is a crash course that will either lead to somewhat proficiency in role or will turn into complete failure. I understand that other people have jobs to do and things they need to do in their role but ultimately I should not be the one to figure things out on my own because I need to have a support system in place to guide me through and make me successful especially when I’m walking into a totally new industry.

[SalemsMom]

How much turnover is in a department/company is a pretty good indicator people aren’t happy. Something to watch out for!

[starbrand]

They hired you for ONE job, then suddenly they give you someone else's tasks, then after you do everything, they give you more and more. What's the reward for hard work? More work.

[tracygarner]

I started a job where people were literally screaming at people in lower roles. I could not believe it. I went to lunch and never returned. I faxed in a resignation. I was too stressed out to tell them in person. The person training me hovered over me while training and was basically yelling their words. It was upsetting. I could tell they always screamed at lower roles. I heard one guy screaming 50 feet from the receptionist at the receptionist not like "can you hear me, " he was berating her. 😱 The whole office could hear him.

[kimslone]

You're on your own...that can be a sign that the business is going under.

[davidellis]

Red 🚩Alert ⚠️ 📢 - I was promised full time hours between 32-40 a week by a major company but after two weeks training was given a locked in 30 hour a week schedule which meant no benefits & negated the higher pay rate they had given me. I took another job within a few weeks. Great information as always Jennifer 👍 😃

[untouchablex]

My job has more red flags than a Chinese New Year parade.

[townsendv]

I undertake temporary work When they tell me that they are friendly and go down the bar together, that's a red flag to me. You shouldn't have to be be told that they are friendly.

[jackied]

Happened to me at my last job. So glad I stayed less than a year. The environment was extremely toxic and the role was not as described. I had a small hunch something was wrong during my first month or two but I kind of thought it was in my head. I’m never ignoring my instincts if something doesn’t feel right again.

[smileytownSF]

Totally relate to “you’re on your own.” I stayed with that company anyway, but realized later that the entire company culture was like this. Poor management skills all around.

[asadb]

another buzzword is "we need someone to hit the ground run" or "we don't want to babysit". Essentially they don't want to train at all. also if you have started and tell them you have an appointment after 3p, and they expect you to come back, they are full s&*t. now if you are willing to take any job to pay bills, don't stress and work at steady pace but still respect your time.

[shineonyoucrazyalmond]

YES! The "on your own" thing! I've been working for about 3 mos. at a job and have been desperately asking for some help and clarity about what it is I'm supposed to be doing and nobody knows. I feel like my job description 1. changed from what I was hired for and 2. changes every day 3. there are different expectations of me from everyone I speak to. It's excruciating and I'm already so ready to leave.

[CassiesPetParent]

Yup! This happened to me at an old company! Bait and switch, I was on my own, no true training (a straight "dump & run" of responsibilities), & to add insult to injury, 2 weeks into the job the guy who hired me announced his 2 week resignation!!

[CapeCodBelle]

I had this happen to me in a law firm many years ago. I was hired as a paralegal, but when I started my job, I was relegated to doing secretarial work "as a way to prove myself." Well I sucked at being a secretary, but I was a very good paralegal. I left after a few months.

[TASconfidential]

One of the best questions to ask in an interview is about the position you’re applying for:

Why did the last person leave?
That answer (and their reaction) will tell you exactly what you need to know in deciding to even accept the offer.

[Seattle-]

One red flag that I've encountered twice in my career is, on your first day, the boss complains to you or warns you about a co-worker that (as you find out later) they refuse to get rid of. That's a sure sign that that person is embedded in the company, usually through a family connection, or just plain nepotism. You are going to end up doing the embedded co-worker's job for them at your cost (in unpaid overtime, stress, maybe not getting a raise), and you will ultimately get the blame for not doing your co-worker's job for them (plus your own job) good enough, and then you will lose your job. If you see this embedded co-worker thing, start re-interviewing at other places right away.

[jocelind]

Well I’m 3 days in training at a new job, My job title is totally different than what I applied for as well as responsibilities. I also found out there is a lot of turnover. I’m so annoyed!!! 🚩🚩🚩🚩
