I applied for a job not long ago and got an interview the interview went well. After a few days they gave me a call to come and check out the facility they work at to get a taste of their daily operation. As soon as I walked in there I wanted to run out of there because it was beyond messy seems like they have no structure .everything so disorganized. They also mentioned usually people leave within a year lol tbh that gave me a bad vibe. Still deciding if I should take it. Would you ?

If you don’t have a job, and you need one from a financial standpoint, I’d take it… I’d rather work in unstructured chaos and eat, versus be unemployed and hungry… with the competitiveness of this market, who knows how long it will be before another offer surfaces…

There’s nothing saying you can’t still apply and interview and leave in a few months… it seems like that’s par for the course for this company anyway…

I absolutely did my research on the company that’s my first thing I always do when applying for a job. They had great reviews but they are contract. I’ve worked for contracts for 14 years Every contract job is different. Some are ran poorly some are ran great . This one seems to be ran poorly . They said their system works that tells me they don’t want to change the way they do things.

If you read the replies and not jump to judgement you'd see the OP has a job, its contract and the contract was just extended 4 months from this month. They don't need to leave.

The contract working world would make me nervous but the extension you got is good. How likely is another extension beyond that? That puts you into the new year, which is good because they might claim there's no real "job listing surge" there are slower hiring times and the winter holidays/ year end is it. Many people chew up vacation time and hiring slows in most conpanies. 4 months puts you at about January. How is your industry hiring in general? How many interviews have you been getting? If you've been seeing traction at all you can probably risk letting this pass. If you are in the same boat as most, even getting interviews is hard. You said this job is a 14 month contract? Could definitely be worth negotiating a good salary, bank what you can, work the job and keep hunting, I prevents the risk of being unemployed. Good luck, still sounds like good problems.
