A lovely picture.  It is Thursday, the day of my 'onsite testing' with the healthcare company.  Now I may have made the mistake of googling 'onsite testing for X healthcare company' because I totally did not like what I found.  Starting about 36-38 months ago, there are posts from employees who no longer work for this company along with a 'very few' who still do and the reports are UGLY.  Do I really want to drive the near 50 miles for this?  One of the posts states they will not hire anyone over 40!  Yikes.  Of course that is age discrimination but that is hard to prove.  Other reports state they are happy they got fired because it was like being a slave-you had to be signed onto your computer by the start of your shift!  WTF?  AND that you had to sign off your computer to go to the bathroom!  Are you  f'ing kidding me?  Where did these people come from?  Imagine being on the job and signed onto your computer and/or phone at the start of your shift-how can an employer ask such a thing.  I don't know what to make of these posts and the posts that had newer dates, like 19 days ago, were just trash talk among those posting-an online pissing contest to be sure.  I guess these types of working conditions are 'unbelievable' to those who've never worked outside Taco Bell, but the sound about normal to me.  The over '40' thing bugs and one of the posts talked about finding 'roaches' in the training room (we had mice at the HB office!) and how they over-hire so when people don't show up for training, there are readily available people to fill in.  However, what if everyone shows up and there's no place to sit? The test is supposedly done on a computer, you have to answer 4 simulated phone calls within a 1/2 hour time and apparently it is easy as long as you go through the tutorial.  Also, they do the background check along with a credit report and that's where I think I'm not passing the bar....the credit check. Sucks but there is nothing I can do.  I personally think that is discrimination cuz how many people out there have spotless credit?  Well, I'm sure there are many.  But I'm not one of them.  So, to those who hate working for X healthcare-you should have started at the phone company back in the day when if you were living with someone of the opposite sex you couldn't get hired OR if you were a single mother you were considered 'loose' and unworthy of employment OR if  you had to go to the bathroom, you had to get PERMISSION first....If you put up with it, then it becomes the law-you just have to learn how to beat them to death with their own rules.
