'Our employees are like a family': 30+ People share their biggest job application red flags

Job searching is an exciting and frustrating experience for many folks, but luckily, some Redditors are sharing their best tips to avoid working at a shady business. There is some really good advice here in the comments under this post from r/recruitingh***. For example, if a company advertises a job as "remote" but then requires you to be in a certain city? Bye! Others suggested phrases to stay away from, like "additional duties as assigned." You really could dodge a bullet by following this sage advice. 

Up next, check out this guy who ordered a McNothing from a burger joint, just to see what would happen!
