1. You won't hear back after your interview for several weeks. Prepare for that. 2. You'll show up the first day and people won't be expecting you, no one will know why you're there. Your manager may not even be in the building. Do not expect to be welcomed. 3. You'll arrive to your work area - half thrown together. You may not have a computer. You may not have a company directory, You may not have a name on your work space. Your coworkers may not have any idea that you were hired or that your position exists. 4. You expect to have training, right? Like every other job you've ever worked. You expect someone will show you at least how to work the multiple systems you've gotten emails with logins to. You don't even know what all that is for and no one has the time to come by and show you anything. Bring a crossword. 5. You'll be given a "training" sheet. Get your cast-iron drawers on. You're going to sit in every department and low-key hear how unhappy everyone is to be working there because the systems used for CRM and Sales are actually just retrofitted accounting software, bonuses/commissions earned aren't given until far later than promised - if at all, and management doesn't have it together and blatantly won't value FTE's opinions enough to hear any solution offered. -- Side note -- NO ONE SMILES, DO NOT SMILE OR THEY'LL KNOW 6. You'll finally settle in; you can bump your way around the systems now but you have nothing to do. Everyone around you is incredibly busy and you're not.... until 7. You're swamped. Everyone expects everything from you. You have no idea how to do your job. 8. You've asked for your manager or supervisor or anyone's help on something. No one has time. Upper management has a sink or swim mentality for all the employees - not just in the C Suite. So good luck. You're just another name and number to keep the Board happy. 9. DON'T expect HR to help. If we're being honest, just think of the term "Immediate family" - YEAH. Which makes a problem with HR - an HR disaster. 10. Cut and run. Beef up your resume and linkedin and get out of there before they cut you and all your commissions and then give them to someone after they've made enough money for the house to keep the company afloat. GOOD LUCK.
