So, about a month ago, I applied on Indeed for a Sales/Repair position at a local vacuum store. The Indeed post said that the salary range for the job was $700-$800 a week. I went in for my first interview with the manager of one location, which I felt went well, and I was called back for a second interview with the manager of the other location, which I also felt went well. After the second interview, I was told they would be in touch. In the following weeks, I called back a couple of times to see if they had made a decision. Each time, they told me they were still deciding. After about a month and a half, I finally got a call back from the first manager. He told me that they had initially hired someone else for the position, but they didn't work out, and he wanted me to come in the next day (Sunday) to talk. At this talk, he told me that he had another applicant for the position, but he would give the job to me if I would start the next morning at 9 am. Also, the actual salary for the job was $500 a week. I called back later that day and told him no thanks.
TLDR: A company strung me along for over a month until eventually they gave me a less than 24-hour ultimatum to take the job at $200 a week less than the posted salary or else the job was gone.
