Hi, I recently started to look for a job and in a few days I’ll an interview.
I checked the reviews of the company on here, and they are just TERRIBLE. I mean, very bad, not something you can brush off.
I’m concerned as, based on the reviews, they require you to work overtime despite the 9-5. But I’m a student as well and I need time to study after work.
Please share your opinions. I’m scared of how terrible the job market is now, otherwise I wouldn’t even consider them. Ty

It's smart to read the reviews and consider them in your decision making process. When you go for the interview, let what you saw in the reviews inform any questions you may have. For instance, if you're concerned about being pressured into working overtime you could ask about whether overtime will be required. Use your own judgment when assessing online reviews, but leverage the information in the reviews to help you gain insights about the company.

I wish I’d read the reviews of the toxic company I’ve just had to quit , forewarned is forearmed. Especially if there are lots of negative reviews.

Do not do anything that does not feel right.

Are you sorting reviews by your position? Sometimes that can make a difference. For example a company I had worked for had some bad reviews, almost all were from warehouse workers. But admin positions had all glowing reviews. It ended up being a good job for me. I even asked in a follow up interview about reviews I had to try and see what kind of feels I got from their answers.

Would you be leaving a job for a new one or are you currently unemployed? If you don't have another job, you could always take it and if it's bad you can always leave. If you currently have a job then you can be a little more picky and maybe pass if things are off in the interview.

There's nothing to come here for, either you wanna put up with it so you'll do it or you don't do apply elsewhere, it's really simple. My little cousin in school, he started in the summer which they told him they would make the schedule around teens because they know they're still in school & now despite that, it's school time & they want him to close all the way til 12am when he has to be up at 5am for school. It's not worth it. Reviews are there for a reason, it's your move but remember can't be mad at anyone if you decide to do it & you end up regretting it. Job market is the worst right now but nothing's worth your health, sanity & school grades.

I feel under qualified at work but I also don’t know how much of it is in my head or in reality.

I really don’t know what to do and whether to hold on in the hope I’ll learn something or go back to a lower grade and a more comfortable life.
