during the interview and during the first few days? I'm in this situation now, and I feel uncomfortable about working at a company where dishonesty seems to be the policy to recruit people. The job market for my industry is not great, so I just have to stick it out.

This has happened to me twice. One time I took a job and they neglected to tell me they hold back 3 weeks on your first check. My current job, which I have been at for 5 years, withheld information, such as lack of advancement and promotional opportunities; extremely long durations of nightshifts and no weekends off. Thankfully, a lot of this has changed, but it is still bad at times. Stick it out and keep looking for a better opportunity. Then get out when you can.

Yes.I have had several jobs over the years. If I had it to do over I would have given notice and went ahead and resigned. There is nothing like having a job that you don't like nor having a job where you have to work around people that you cannot trust. I have left it a time or two for the very same reasons you dislike yours. Taking a break from what you normally do really does help. You have time to rethink things and or start anew. I worked as a waitress for a while and loved it. Good luck on finding a better job.

Don't quit if you need the income, but keep putting your resume out there and interviewing. You don't owe this company anything but a "Thank you for the opportunity, this wasn't what I interviewed for" when you resign. But take your time, next time and do your homework on the company. Talk to people who work there, or know about it. If you see the company you want to interview with in the paper alot they probably have a high turnover. Ask in your next interview what the turnover rate is and how are people promoted. You have to look out for you in this world, otherwise you just become a number in Corporate America.
Good luck.

nah, that never happens. NOT!
If you really want to expose them then start by keeping a journal of everything and then when you have amassed enough evidence seek out your local labor board.
Easy way out just get another job.
Most cases for harassment and dishonesty are proven by thorough journal keeping even though it is only your record and not positive irrefutable proof.

What industry are you in? Yes, it is a common practice to be dishonest to new recruits. Get out now before you are brainwashed into recruiting more recruits dishonestly.

Just keep looking while you are working. I have been in your shoes and it doesn't get better. My suggestion is to start on another track to learn another job. Get the training you would need to move on, either by college, courses, hands on. Whatever it takes, do it.

well you could stay there and look for another job so you have income and then quit. I wouldn't like to work in a place where i wasn't happy you have to enjoy your job to go everyday.
