So I applied for a security officer job with one of the larger agencies and without any confirmation of work location or wages I was told to attend two full days of orientation which turned out to be classroom training. I scored very high in the testing (1/4 of the class failed).
Yesterday, I get a call from their scheduler asking me to pick up a uniform and immediately attend training at a site for minimum wage ($7.45 /hr). He tells me after two days training, I need to commit to working at the site for at least a month at $9.00 an hour. Their new ad in several internet job sites says they have 5 immediate openings with wages from $13.00 to $15.00. I called the scheduler back and he tells me he knows nothing about the ad.
Since I had made plans Friday, I did not pick up the uniform. Now I'm scheduled to pick up my uniform Monday morning.
They know based on my application, that I have over ten years experience, that I previously made over $20 hourly and my wage expectation is $13.00.
I'm seriously thinking about telling them to take their job and shove it. What do you guys think?
