This is seemingly becoming the standard for businesses at this point but here's yet another company that is lying about pay rates on their job postings. Went through the recruiting process and even preemptively completed a full application to make the process smooth and get hired ASAP.
A recruiter called me today and I was stoked because I really need an income! Set up the interview time and everything…and then she drops the bomb as the very last thing before ending the conversation: starting pay is $13.32/hr. I ask her about the Indeed posting saying $15, she says it was a mistake made by corporate.
So I call corporate. Or rather, customer service, who transfers me to employee services. I wait on hold throughout the process. I tell the service rep about the situation, she puts me on hold for a bit longer then comes back and these two conversations ensue. (I didn't know how else to attach this video besides uploading to my personal YouTube channel RIP.) Bascially, corporate told me that recruiters are in charge of those things. So I call back the recruiter I spoke to and she tries to deny that the posting is even wrong or just avoid addressing it. Finally she says “no corporate posts them” and says they'll change it.
I doubt they'll change it but I will do my best to be a nuisance until they do so. I'll update this post if necessary lol but I doubt it will be.
PLEASE BE WARY WHEN APPLYING AND INTERVIEWING THESE DAYS!!! If you are on government benefits that are contingent on applying places, take NO INTERVIEWS until you're 100% sure that they've been honest about the pay, role, and requirements. If the interview goes well but they lied so you turn it down, you could lose your benefits. These people are snakes. They give no fucks about us as workers or people. Do not trust employers.
