Had a job interview today, it was gross

Post Body

I got a message on Indeed.com about a job as an assistant to a lawyer. Immigration lawyer. I had applied to this job months ago, so I kind of forgot about it.

It was this morning at 8:30. I made sure to Google the location because I wasn't completely sure where it was and it said open at 8am. But when I got there, the door said open at 9. I was annoyed I had an interview but no one was there. I like to be early to things and I was out there from 8:15-8:45.

Just as I was going to leave, two people walk up. One of them is in a suit and has one dog. The other looks like they grabbed something and ran out the door, they had two dogs. They had no idea why I was there and told me the dogs were "office dogs."

We walk in and the smell is horrible. I had no idea why it smelled, the office looked nice. They kind of wonder about trying to figure out who made this appointment and if they had a copy of my resume. (These days I don't carry a paper copy because no one wants one).

I stand in the entrance waiting and notice their dogs pee on one of the couches there. Twice. I was grossed out.

Finally, they hold the interview. They were disorganized. The conference room was full of files all over the place. I was given a tour, they had files in practically every office. The break room was full of files and coffees. The entire office smelled, even the break room.

The assistant comes in, I guess they wanted to hire two more people for that position and they notice a entire MAC computer is missing. She mentioned how they told the last assistant, probably left the job, that she could take it. So essentially, this past employee took the MAC and they only just noticed.

I talked to my parents and my boyfriend about it and I decided I could not work this job. It's gross and it's clear they do not clean at all. Plus, if the dogs pee everywhere do they also poop? And if it's not properly cleaned, as the smell isn't new, they can have mold in their office.

I have no idea if this is legal or anything but I know it's gross because everything is carpeted and I bet the couches are full of pee, not just the sides.

I've been looking for a job all year, this is my first interview this year and it was bad. And gross.

I have no problems with animals at all but if they aren't potty trained, keep them at home please.

One of the underrated things about interviews is that while they are interviewing you, you are also interviewing them to decide if this is something you really want to do. Companies are supposed to put their best foot forward. If that is their best, I would hate to see their worst.
