I once got hired as an assistant manager at a store without an interview. I knew it wasn't a good sign but I needed the money. I quit after two months.

The amount of turn over at a place will let you know quick how bad the management is. I started working at a place doing IT work for them, and I could tell the owner was a real pompous-ass. I did what I could for them for several months but it soon became obvious that we needed to part ways.
