Hired Reviews 

I was going into a program last minute on a Friday but the training program but didnt tell me where the location was so I spent the entire weekend and monday walking to work at different times to get people to cover all of my shifts for the week. Every single day from Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday I devoted the entire day to trying to figure out where the location would be and updating my work schedule and walking to work in person when the coworkers that could cover for me could cover for me. She was upset because I called her at 8:15 once hired opened so I can get the information since it would determine whether I could keep my job based on the travel time. I even bought cookies as thanks for my coworkers. She called me back and placed the blame on me by saying she mentioned it was in minneapolis when she said the locations were 17 miles away and ~12 miles away at Medtronic and Boston Scientific. I specifically urgently wanted in the program *because* the location was not based in Minneapolis and I havent been able to find a single job training program outside of Minneapolis and Bloomington. She was upset that I called over and over to get the information when it was super integral. She could have just emailed me the program information on Friday, and she didnt even send it to the email I was using. How am I supposed to get to a location in under 30 minutes of learning where it is if I have to use an Uber and the drive is 45 minutes, take 8:30 + 45 minutes drive + 10 minutes to wait for the uber and I'd be there at 9:25 am for a class at 10am I have to be 10 minutes early to, that ends at 4pm when I have work at 4:30pm. And thats how early it was *with* calling seven times for an answer, if I hadn't done that I would've been screwed over. And I still had to pay for an uber twice today to update my schedule in person and tell my coworkers the plans are off after finding out it was in Minneapolis and not Columbia Heights and Shoreview where Medtronic and Boston Scientific are located, which is only a 30 minute bikeride. Thats way too close of a time frame for comfort. Theres nothing unreasonable about calling to be able to determine whether I can keep my job based on the location, I cant attend a program if you dont give me the address, next time just say no. I am applying to Autism vocational services and directly contacting manufacturing companies locally because clearly none of the careerworks options can help someone farther north despite the target companies literally being based near here. I just had to cry from how inconsiderate it was to call me three times to complain about me calling in the morning when I had to get screamed at by my family for joining a training program for a solid 20 minutes when I am already so busy when it was reasonable to do since I have been saving an entire year to still be unable to afford job training courses since they're $6k and this was potentially free. What I had to go through from the lack of information provided is far worse than being called 7 times in the opening hour. I wouldnt have had to do any of this if I just knew it was another minneapolis class. And I asked when the next time they are having classes and she didnt mention it at all and just called back to complain about me and make sure it wasnt her fault.

And the other thing is I had no idea what I was supposed to bring because she *hadnt emailed me any information*. I was already at work waiting for my uber there and I didnt know I had to bring my laptop, resume and social security card until I got the email . She didnt send the email of information to the one I emailed her with, I dont even know how she found my other email so how would I think of checking it other than the one I was literally conversing her with while I was on the phone with her, I have 12 different emails and she sent it to my banking and healthcare email account.

edit: checked my application pdf to see if the email was in there and it was, and firefox autofill did screw me over and put my healthcare email into it and it was rushed since it was the last day possible to apply and I didnt want to wait another two years. But that was still a horrible experience, especially after I just wasted time at the Merrick temp firm (not Merrick Inc.) too to also find out they only give out jobs in minneapolis despite only being located down a road from me and it costs me actual money for these ubers. Also even if the email was wrong, I explicitly stated in my application that I could not go to minneapolis and I was communicating presently during the application process with the correct email.
