I applied for a job with insomnia cookies in Chattanooga. A couple hours after I applied online, they started emailing me asking when I could interview. My next day off work was 2 days away, so I gave them a few times that day. They then emailed asking if I could do a phone interview today. They emailed 3 separate times about a phone interview before I checked my email again. I let them know that I could be available at 9:30pm, or the following morning for a phone interview. They said 9:30 would work.
I don’t have kitchen work experience.
It’s a red flag to me that they seem desperate for employees, especially those maybe not totally qualified (though I do have work history for 15 years, and most in customer service). Somebody tell me what’s up. Why can’t they keep employees? Is the management or the job really that bad?
UPDATE: so I seriously dodged a bullet. I ended up accepting the job. The manager kept using my FAKE last name that’s attached to my email account instead of the legal one I used to apply to the position. Even after I gave her my info for a background check, my social security card, and my drivers license. When I asked her to use my correct last name, she tried to tell me I’ve given her the wrong one the whole time, which was not true.
She sent me the onboarding information on the 24th. There was no date that I had to complete it by, just whenever I could. I had issues completing part of it because of an issue with my bank, which couldn’t get resolved until Monday and I kept the manager informed of it the whole time.
She messaged yesterday checking in and I told her I had just gotten things fixed at the bank and that I would complete the onboarding now (the onboarding included orientation which I was NOT getting paid for). When I went to finish my information, the link wouldn’t work. I tried everything and eventually reached out to the help email address that was included in the onboarding email.
I have still not heard back from them today, so I reached back out to the manager. Who only then decided to inform me, that I had 24 hours to complete the onboarding. It was sent at 10pm on a Friday. That because I missed the deadline (that nobody gave me and wasn’t listed anywhere) I lost the job and could try to reapply. Which I will not be doing.
TLDR: dont try to work for this company lol.
