The interview and hiring process was honestly one of the biggest red flags from the start. It felt rushed, disorganized, and borderline desperate. There was an immediate push for me to start as soon as possible, with little regard for professionalism or standard hiring practices. One of the most concerning moments was the owner explicitly emphasizing that I should not discuss my pay with peers or let anyone know about a sign-on bonus. That alone created a sense of secrecy and discomfort right away. Transparency should never feel discouraged, and it set the tone for a workplace culture that didn’t feel open or trustworthy. On top of that, there was pressure to begin working without even giving proper notice to my current job, which felt highly unprofessional. It gave the impression that urgency was being prioritized over ethics and respect—for both employees and other organizations. The process itself lacked structure. There was no formal in-person interview, no thorough vetting, and not even standard onboarding steps like a proper drug screening. For a role that involves working with vulnerable populations, that level of oversight is concerning. Overall, the entire experience came across as rushed and poorly managed, and it raised serious questions about the organization’s standards, professionalism, and long-term stability.
