Zero communication no formal training and completely disorganized from an upper management level.
The interview process was challenging. I lived well over an hour away from the office. My first interview was over the phone which was fine. Second interview in person with 3 interviewers, then I was called back the following day to take a 'caliper' test (a test designed to check your behaviors and not legal in PA) and interview again.
It took a few weeks for them to reach a decision to hire; which they did. I gave my two weeks to a place I had been employed by for 3 years and without issues. The CFO/ part owner / HR manager (one person), asked me if I could be onsite for a training overview. Something I could not fully comply to since I had to wrap up my duties as well as other items with my old position. I even told them I would have to take those two weeks to wrap things up - apparently this fell on deaf ears.
I first asked for what time I was expected to be in the office on my start day. After several attempts trying to reach out I never heard a single reply. I showed up at the door at 8 am while most of my new coworkers showed up at 9 to 10 am. The person I was supposed to train with would never show up by 9 am - lucky to see him by 10 am and very often be too busy to give direction no matter how much I asked. When I did get some direction it was very little and I started addressing some of the items they were looking for.
I had turned away another opportunity which I had interviewed for and would have been better money and a shorter commute from where I lived - I should not have accepted the position here.
After a week and a half of working here and trying to do what I could the CFO (who I will not name) asked me to leave on the basis "I am not fitting in". I asked for clarification and of course did not reciprocate; even if I was the wrong race (yup I said it).
They offered to pay out the rest of my two weeks and an additional 2 weeks severance for all the hardship of leaving a good job (with a very well known company) and in the hopes I could either go back to that position or take the one I turned down. I did choose Centrak for a reason initially - now I am unsure why.
I am still waiting on the paycheck and severance check after a months time. I have sent the CFO a few emails and followed up with a few phone calls - no correspondence (not surprised) has been returned.
I may now have to take legal action in order to receive the settlement.
