Finding a job has always been a rather difficult process. And the selection of a suitable employer plays a huge role in it. It is not always so easy and simple to find someone who will truly value his employees and will not begin to deceive them. Therefore, we have to study who an unscrupulous employer is, how he can be detected at the interview stage (or in the first days of work), and also how applicants have the right to punish the deceiver. These are all very serious questions. Especially if you take into account the fact that the Internet and newspapers are full of false advertisements, which, in principle, are a fraudulent technique.
No conscience
The first step is to find out who the unscrupulous employer is. Although this is not so difficult to understand.
As a rule, this is said about those who constantly deceive their employees and, of course, do not comply with the terms of the employment contract. Or he promises the applicant one thing when applying for a job, but in practice it turns out something completely different. But do not confuse unscrupulous employers with scammers - the latter cheat blatantly, and their goal is to extract money from gullible citizens. But in the case of dishonesty, the motive is different - recruit better employees, pay less, strain subordinates more. And, as a result, to get rich at someone else’s expense, but legally.
Beware, scammers!
Before studying at least an approximate list of unscrupulous employers (each city, as a rule, has its own and includes a huge number of candidates), you need to remember the mentioned difference between dishonesty and fraud.
As already mentioned, the main goal of the latter is open and blatant enrichment by extracting funds from applicants. It is usually accompanied by a lack of actual hiring. That is, your conversation will not go beyond the interview. But an unscrupulous employer will still provide you with opportunities to perform your job duties.
Fraudsters are now very easy to identify. They create enticing advertisements. In them, the age of the applicant, as well as his status and gender, are usually not important. They offer little work (about 4 hours a day), and the earnings are simply sky-high. True, all communication is maintained exclusively via the Internet. The interview takes place via email, or at best, Skype.
Eventually you will find out that you must pre-pay the insurance premium before being hired. And this is a clear indication that the potential employer is a fraudster. 
Black list
And now a little more about bosses without conscience. Where can I complain about an unscrupulous employer? And where can you look at those who are already considered not the best management offering employment to applicants?
As a rule, so-called black lists are now created in every city. They publish all the companies that violate their employment contracts. In other words, here you can see unscrupulous employers.
Moscow deceivers
Well, let's try to understand which employers do not perform their duties very well in Moscow. It is in the capital that many come to work, and therefore the list of unscrupulous employers in Moscow can be useful to everyone.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of candidates, so it’s not worth listing them all. It is better to pay attention only to some well-known companies.
For example, Burger King. This is a great fast food cafe, but not entirely suitable as an employer. Students are often recruited here, and there is a huge turnover of staff. They are constantly left to work overtime; quite often, students and schoolchildren even fail to complete the probationary period. Why? This unscrupulous employer conducts special testing. And in most cases it turns out that you failed it. You are not paid for your training (probationary period).
Many fast food cafes operate on similar principles (for example, Three-S Food, Krabs, Teremok-Invest). But the list doesn't end there. Unscrupulous employers in Moscow are the vast majority of companies. Even large retail chains are often blacklisted: Detsky Mir, Kari, Kari Kids, Baucenter, and so on. And lesser-known, but large corporations generally turn out to be real scammers in most cases. So you should be careful when finding employment in Moscow!
Who makes the lists
There is a question that has begun to interest job seekers: who compiles the blacklists of employers in certain cities? After all, someone originally came up with this? There is no clear answer. Everything is much more complicated than it might seem at first glance:
- Blacklists can be created by users themselves. They write reviews about unscrupulous employers on forums and in the media, share their employment experience so that others do not get deceived - a common phenomenon at the moment.
- A blacklist regarding Russian regions can be compiled by recruitment agencies. Such a technique is needed in order to simply not get involved with certain employers and not to discredit your reputation. Although sometimes such lists are published in the public domain.
- A register of unscrupulous employers can also be compiled by competing firms. It is easy to recognize such a technique - the activities of all organizations that will be on such a black list have the same direction or are generally similar. The phenomenon is not very common, but it does occur.
Where to complain
Where can I complain about an unscrupulous employer? A lot depends on your situation as a whole. Every victim always has a choice. But with a high degree of probability, there will be no sense in your attempts to defend your rights.
To begin with, you can report what is happening to different recruitment agencies. If you initially looked for an employer through such an organization, then all claims, even more so, should be accepted by personnel officers.
You can also simply go to the Internet to write a review of your work on the corresponding blacklist of employers in your city. 
But if you are determined and can prove the dishonesty of your management, it is advisable to file a claim in the district court. Such cases are not that rare. Especially if the employer delays wages or already owes a tidy sum to his subordinates.
Perhaps this option is considered the best if you suddenly decide to think about how to punish an unscrupulous employer. True, it is rarely possible to achieve justice. The judiciary is not interested in such cases. They always have more important things to do.
Location
Now let’s try to figure out how to identify an unscrupulous employer. This is not so difficult to do if you look closely at some key points. Most likely, you will be able to recognize the deceiver at the interview stage, or even earlier.
First of all, pay attention to the ad text. Often, not the most conscientious employers try to place their offers in newspapers (free publications), on poles, road signs, fences, entrances, stops - where there are a lot of people and a lot of traffic.
If we are talking about a virtual ad, then pay more attention to the text of the message. Here, most likely, they will inform you that there is no age limit. Unless you must be over 18 years old. But there are no requirements for gender and other nuances - this is an alarm bell. In addition, often several advertisements are posted simultaneously from the same employer on the same virtual platforms with little frequency. This is also something to think about.
Limitation
To attract the attention of job seekers, an unscrupulous employer will use a variety of tricks and techniques. And often even before the interview. And your first meeting with potential bosses will simply duplicate the ad that attracted you.
What is another indicator of the likelihood of deception? Limited supply. In the text of the advertisement, you can note to yourself that there are few vacancies left. And the supply is limited. This pushes the applicant to hurry up with the application, and, as a result, confuses the person - the person loses vigilance and attentiveness.
Earnings
Among other things, not the best employers attract applicants to their candidacy with the help of promises regarding earnings. The principle “work less, get more” works here. That is, they will promise you that you don’t need to work hard after you’ve been hired - you’ll literally get the money for nothing. And even in indecently high sizes.
These are all old and well-known techniques. They are used by both unscrupulous employers and scammers. Thus, take this fact into account and do not be fooled by offers of high earnings. The exception is if the vacancy is truly prestigious.
Requirements
Another point that will help you avoid meeting a less than ideal employer is the requirements for applicants. Pay attention to them. Often you will be given a minimum, which cannot be considered requests at all. Plus, vague requirements are possible.
What does it mean? It is enough to be purposeful, decent, and learn quickly. That's all. Work experience is not important for the employer. Often they even write openly: “No experience.”
Among other things, advertisements from unscrupulous employers contain a minimum of contact information. Not always, but very often. Especially if the company is small or has only recently been opened.
Let's meet at the interview
An interview can also open your eyes. Unscrupulous employers have already learned how to write advertisements correctly so as not to arouse suspicion. But an interview can reveal a deceiver.
How exactly? The following reasons indicate deception:
- demanding money for paperwork;
- mass interviews;
- the conversation will begin with stories about your dreams and successes;
- the manager constantly points out the rapid development of the company;
- they promise to personally teach you how to make money quickly;
- the signing of the employment contract is delayed;
- They cannot tell you about job descriptions in full.
By remembering all of the above, we hope you will be able to avoid meeting with unscrupulous employers and scammers. Good luck!
Chapter:
Before you take a job, you need to find out as much as possible about the company. Employees who have been interviewed or worked in the organization you are interested in can best tell you about the organization. You can find employee opinions about the company on specialized websites.
Our service is an aggregator of such sites, where you can easily find complete and detailed information about Moscow employers in a short time.
Aggregating information from several sources allows you to form a more reliable opinion about a particular company. You will read reviews from several employees left on different resources. Those who were interviewed can also write their reviews.
How a review database helps job seekers find a job
Let's not hide the fact that very often employees talk about employers in a negative way. However, they sometimes do this with good reason. On the company website and during interviews, you will never be able to find out all the pitfalls of working in an organization. If there are any negative aspects, employees will definitely talk about them on sites with opinions about employers.
This is all done anonymously, so people aren't afraid to voice their real opinions.
Many people leave very long and detailed reviews. For example, you can find whole stories about working in a company. Some also write reviews about how the interview went.
Based on this information, you can get a fairly complete picture of work in the organization.
You will learn about questions that may be asked during an interview, the regularity of salary payments, the attitude of management towards colleagues and other relevant issues.
How to write your review about an employer
If you have worked for the company yourself, feel free to leave a review about your experience. Write as detailed as possible, because it will help other people. It is no secret that employers themselves visit such sites. Negative reviews about the company motivate them to change their working conditions for the better.
When writing a review, be sure to talk about points such as:
· team and corporate culture;
· attitude of management towards employees;
· competitiveness of salary levels;
· prospects for working in the company.
When talking about the team and corporate culture, describe the composition of the team, the attitude of employees towards each other, some accepted standards of communication.
Black list of employers in Moscow and the Moscow region
Tell us about the dress code and the strictness of its adherence. Also write about the social package, what is included there. If any events, team building, or corporate parties are organized for company employees, this is also worth mentioning - this information is not basic, but still speaks about the working conditions in the company.
The boss is also a person, and he can treat his employees differently. Describe his character, his relationship with the team, what you like and don’t like about him. If there were any conflicts with your superiors, you can mention them.
If you are satisfied with the director, you should definitely talk about this and highlight his or her strengths.
In the part about wages, indicate whether its amount corresponds to the stated amount. Tell us if payments were delayed or reduced for unknown reasons. It is also worth mentioning bonuses and incentives, if any.
In describing the prospects for working in a company, you can tell both about your own career path and express your opinion. Of course, the first option is more preferable. Describe what position you started with, how long you stayed in it, what position you managed to grow to and for how long.
If you did not work for the company, but just had an interview, you should also leave a review about this. Many candidates will be very grateful to you if you tell us what you were asked about during the interview, how the HR specialist behaved, and what they told you at the end. If the interview is multi-stage, tell what applicants can expect at each stage.
A site with a database of reviews about employers is a free platform for expressing the opinions of job seekers and employees of various companies in Moscow.
You can find reviews of most metropolitan organizations. This will help candidates avoid many unpleasant surprises when joining a company, learn as much as possible about it and find their dream job. Also, such sites are very useful for employers, because you can find out objective, direct and honest opinions of employees about working in the organization.
The Volzhsky Steel Structures Plant is located 1 kilometer from the regional center - the city of Volgograd, at the entrance to the 400 thousand industrial center of the Volgograd region - the city of Volzhsky. The plant is located at a large transport hub, combining road, rail and waterways, which allowed and continues to reduce the cost of product delivery. All this makes the location of the VZMK simply unique, allowing it to deliver complex and voluminous structures both to various regions of Russia and abroad.
The date of establishment of the plant is considered to be February 18, 1967. The enterprise was created to provide enterprises in the southern regions of the country, the countries of the Middle East and Asia with steel structures. The location of the future plant was significantly influenced by the proximity of Volgograd, one of the largest industrial centers and the largest transport hub in the South of Russia.
Initially, the products of the Volzhsky Steel Structures Plant were used in the construction of enterprises of the Ministry of Energy (industrial facilities, power plant buildings, power line supports), and later - in the construction of other civil and industrial facilities. In 1968, the plant delivered the first 17 thousand 135 tons of metal structures. Very soon the Volzhsky Steel Structures Plant became one of the largest manufacturers of metal structures and became widely known not only in the country, but also abroad. The company's products were in demand in many countries: Turkey, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Greece, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Nigeria, Jordan, Libya, Yemen, Mali, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Cuba and others. Production reached its greatest volume in 1977, when the plant produced 60 thousand tons of metal structures. In 1989, the plant delivered its first million tons of metal structures.
Metal structures produced by the Volzhsky Steel Structures Plant successfully serve at the Novo-Angrenskaya State District Power Plant, the Ulyanovsk Thermal Power Plant, the Aswan Dam (Egypt), and at nuclear power plants in Kursk, Smolensk, Balakovo. Not a single major construction project was completed without the participation of the Volzhsky Steel Structures Plant. Among the facilities built during this time were the VAZ, KAMAZ, and Volzhsky Pipe Plants. The company produces supports for high-voltage power lines with a voltage of 750 kV - for transporting electricity from nuclear power plants. The plant produced brazed supports for Bangladesh, Somalia and Ethiopia. Such production provides significant time savings. Another order is floating supports for swampy areas of gas and oil areas. In search of new types of products, the plant was the first in Russia to master the production of sheet multifaceted power transmission line supports with voltages of 110 and 220 kV - for hard-to-reach, mountainous, swampy places, and regions of the North. The metal consumption of such supports is 30 percent lower than that of supports of a traditional lattice structure, and the labor intensity during installation is reduced several times. These supports received recognition by winning the All-Russian Exhibition Center medal in 1994.

The labor market in the Russian Federation is an excellent field of activity for scammers. Unscrupulous employers extract money from citizens by deception when hiring, or fire them after completing any amount of work under the pretext of not completing the probationary period, naturally, without paying remuneration.
We will try to describe how to protect ourselves from such troubles in this article.
Signs of unscrupulous employers - how to recognize fraud when applying for a job?
The very first thing you need to know and never forget is that you came to work to earn money, not to spend it. If during your employment require some kind of advance payment , for example - for a uniform or work tools, there is clearly something wrong here.
For most people, their job search occurs in three stages:
1. Search for a vacancy announcement.
2. Phone call to the employer.
3. Interview with the employer.
- First stage job search usually begins with searching for advertisements in the media or on the Internet. Already at this stage signs of employer dishonesty you can see it if you look closely.
1. The ad is too tempting
The requirements for the applicant are significantly lowered. In the advertisement, the employer does not show interest in the age or work experience of the candidate, and often, on the contrary, even focuses on this.
2. Large circulation of advertisements in various media and job portals
Constantly repeated in new publications over a long period.
3. The contact details for the ad contain suspicious information.
There is no company name or cell phone number provided for contact. This, of course, is not the main reason, but still.
After finding a suitable advert, it is best for a job seeker to do their own research. This is very easy to do, especially since modern people have all the tools for this.
Criteria that you need to pay attention to when checking the work you are interested in more deeply:
1. The salary level indicated in the advertisement is higher than the average market salary for similar work.
2. Lack of an official website on the Internet or a description of the company and its activities on information resources. Complete lack of information.
3. Frequent editing of the same ad in different media and on different resources on the Internet, which indicates a high turnover.
4. A very annoying invitation to an interview.
- Second phase
After searching for an ad and checking at least brief information about the organization that placed the ad, the stage of making a phone call to the specified number begins. This stage can also provide a lot of information if you approach it correctly, know what to do and what to say during the first telephone conversation with the employer.
- The employer refuses to provide information about himself and his type of activity. He does not give the name of the company, the address where it is located, or the full name of the director. Instead, you are asked to attend an interview to obtain all this information. In most cases, an ordinary reputable employer has absolutely no need to hide personal information
- Your questions regarding the vacancy are answered with a question in response to a question., for example, they ask you to first tell about yourself. Most likely they just want to extract information from you in order to understand whether it is possible to work with you further.
- The interlocutor answers your questions regarding the vacancy with abstract phrases. For example, “We are a team of professionals” or “We promote global brands on the market.”
- The interview is scheduled outside of business hours. In any conscientious company, the hiring of employees is carried out by the HR department, which, in turn, cannot have a flexible schedule and traditionally works only on weekdays and during working hours. For example, from 9-00 to 17-00.
- The address at which the interview is scheduled is the address of a private apartment. This is easy to check through the reference book. It often happens that the company’s office is actually located on the territory of the apartment, but there must be appropriate information about this. If it is not there, it is better to refrain from such an interview.
- During a telephone conversation, the employer asks you to send your or passport data by email. The resume is your personal confidential information, but if it is disclosed, most likely there will be no damage. But with passport data it’s quite the opposite. At the stage of the telephone conversation and interview, the employer should definitely not be interested in your data.
- Third stage and the last one is, of course, the interview itself. If you still decide to go for it, then you need to pay attention to the following criteria:
- Interviews are scheduled for several applicants at the same time. If the employer is decent, and the job he offers is stable and well-paid, this interview format is not acceptable.
- During the interview you are asked to deposit some money., let's say - for special clothes or tools, to take some kind of paid test or training - turn around and boldly leave. Such actions are completely illegal.
- If during an interview you are asked to sign any documents or agreements about non-disclosure of commercial information or something like that, then this is also a sure sign of the employer’s dishonesty. At the interview stage, you do not have any legal relationship with the employer and are not required to sign anything.
- During the interview you are told that the first time you work in their company is not paid, since it is considered a probationary period or training period. In this case, this clause must be described in the employment contract and clearly state the wording under which circumstances the probationary period is considered completed and under which it is not.
Knowing the criteria described above and operating with them, you can protect yourself from the actions of unscrupulous employers and protect yourself from getting into unpleasant situations, primarily related to the senseless waste of time on scammers.
Anti-rating of the most unscrupulous employers in Russia
Of course, creating such an anti-rating is quite difficult. But still there is resources , which are designed to perform precisely this task. Their work, as a rule, is based on correspondence from employees of a particular company with reviews and recommendations.
In the vastness of such resources, it is possible to find almost any company you are interested in in any industry and in any region.
- One such resource is the antijob.net project. It will offer you more than 20,000 thousand real reviews for review, and if you yourself find yourself in a not very pleasant situation, then you can take part in the formation of anti-ratings yourself.
- You can also get a lot of information from the orabot.net resource.
Of course, there is no single register of unscrupulous employers, but it should be noted The most frequently pop-up companies on resources like antijob.net are:
- Garant-Victoria– imposes paid training, after which it refuses applicants due to unsatisfactory results.
- LLC Satellite – they ask applicants to pay 1000 rubles. to organize a workplace, which is completely contrary to the law of the Russian Federation.
- Hydroflex Russland LLC – the company’s managers, the general director and his wife, the commercial director, do not value their employees at all, and the principle of their work is to organize staff turnover, with the aim of non-payment of wages under the pretext of fines.
- LLC "Mosinkasplomb" – is engaged in the construction business, which he understands absolutely nothing about. Hires contractors represented by the companies BelSlavStroy LLC and ABSOLUT-REAL ESTATE. Very often they do not pay employees anything other than an advance payment under the pretext of poorly performed work.
- LLC "SF STROYSERVICE" - these are large and good objects in Moscow and the Moscow region. SF STROYSERVICE LLC does not have its own staff of finishers and constantly searches for finishers via the Internet. After completing the work, he does not pay workers wages under the pretext of poor-quality work.
- LLC SHIT-M– the company is engaged in renting private apartments. It is known for the lack of payments under employment contracts.
- 100 percent (Language Center) – systematically delays wages. Many employees were never paid their salaries even after dismissal. * 100PA (Group of Companies) - when applying for employment, they do not tell the truth about working conditions. There are a lot of illegal immigrants who work and live right in the workshops. They pay much less than they promise when hiring.
- 1C-SoftClub– they conclude fixed-term contracts with applicants, and after a month they kick them out without paying wages.
Of course, reviews also need to be properly filtered. Since competitors often order compromising information on their opponents, they can still be trusted. Especially if they are massive.
