10 Worst Interview Red Flags

Have you ever been interviewing for a job when the interviewer gave away something that made the workplace appear toxic?

Someone recently posted in a popular finance forum asking for red flags in an interview that reveals the job is toxic. Here are the top-voted responses.

One warned, “If you hear the word “sales” mentioned ANYWHERE in the job description, then sales will be your main job.”

Finally, one noted, “When they say things, including “We work hard, and play hard,” “OT is infinite, and you can work it as much as you want,” and “We have a high turnover rate cause people just stop coming to work.”
