Description

I applied on ziprecrutier. They responded and conducted an interview. It lasted about 45 mintues, and I thought everything was legitimate. After our phone conversation I was told that you must pay for the equipment upfront, and then will be reimbursed. Something about they were in such a hurry to hire people and needed to get the equipment out in time for training. After the payment, their communication became lazy and I then there was an email sent about a different job offer, paying much more per hour, you just needed to purchase even more equipment! Was told that the equipment would be shipped via fedex and on Monday would receive the shipping information. They scheduled me for training on Friday as I would have time to receive my equipment. When I started asking questions about a contract and wanting things in writing it just became red flag after red flag. Yesterday they said a manager would contact me during business hours today to address my concerns, and that never happened.
