What red flags about a company have you encountered while interviewing for a job?

Number of contractors to employees ratio.

Also specific keywords such as unlimited potential income or this is not a scam.

Unlimited potential income, this, especially when it comes with the really only limiting factor in how you earn is you.

Q. Cheesy, crap eating grin. I recently had to work on some scripts involving recruitment

techniques for life insurance agency development heads. And after processing all of it and learning

some of the crap they use to try and cajole you into buying insurance or recruit you, I've

concluded that they're terrible.

Primerica, by chance, they dealt with life insurance and tried to recruit me by paying $500

to take a class and get my license. I could make $10,000 a month. No. Also, world financial.

I've been dropping friends like flies thanks to those d-bags who

trapped them. Any place that requires you to pay for something to come to work for them is a red flag.

Extremely high turnover or you're being interviewed by people who have worked in their department

for less than one year. This, but the thing is,

those places will hire anyone, and that's the upshot. You just have to tough it out for a year

so you can get that oh so necessary criteria of minimum one year's experience that every other

freaking employer wants for their entry-level positions. Yeah, related, I quit a very good job after five years because they brought

in a new manager who was intolerable. My replacement lasted three days before quitting. Over the

next year, that position turned over four more times, all because no one could stand this manager.

Some of the new employees quit after a week or two. The company finally wised up and realized that the manager was the problem.

These are all pretty good red flags so far, but I'll add a few I've encountered.

It took me a long time into my career to trust my instincts on these red flags.
