Getting a weird vibe from a new job

I started a new job yesterday working for a company that fills company break rooms with snacks and drinks and whatnot. I’ve done merchandising work before with a soda company and I worked bigger stores like Walmart and the like, so I’m use to working and doing this kind of work. It is now Day 2 and I’ve gotten some weird red flags that make me want to not even finish out the week regardless of what the company tells me. Some of the red flags I’m seeing/feeling. Literally the first thing I was told by the lead driver is that they cycle through people pretty quick and not many people stay that long. Like… what I’m obviously still in training for another couple weeks but I haven’t done ANY HR paperwork. At all. Every single job I’ve ever had, I’ve had to do paperwork first before I do any…


I started a new job yesterday working for a company that fills company break rooms with snacks and drinks and whatnot.

I’ve done merchandising work before with a soda company and I worked bigger stores like Walmart and the like, so I’m use to working and doing this kind of work.

It is now Day 2 and I’ve gotten some weird red flags that make me want to not even finish out the week regardless of what the company tells me.

Some of the red flags I’m seeing/feeling.

  • Literally the first thing I was told by the lead driver is that they cycle through people pretty quick and not many people stay that long.

Like… what

  • I’m obviously still in training for another couple weeks but I haven’t done ANY HR paperwork. At all. Every single job I’ve ever had, I’ve had to do paperwork first before I do any actual training work. So I have no idea what my benefits are, what day I get paid, how often I get paid, or even safety measures on the job.

  • Everything seems to be pretty mismanaged. I was told we’d have four 10 Hour shifts (which is great) but they said “I’ll most likely be done later than that because it’s always that way” so misleading me in terms of what the allotted time they said I’d be done with my day. Thinking I’d be having a consistent schedule but I’m not.

Part of me doesn’t want to finish the work week and just leave and keep looking for other jobs because this one is so odd.

I just did some applications at some other places but yeah. This place is giving me a really weird vibe.
