"Bot" interviews is what I am calling this, but what is it, and what do I do about it?

5. The whole thing proved just too weird for me

I have to wonder if they're using this system to trick candidates into accepting the sub-standard pay rate. They ask you to "accept" a job offer before meeting them, taking a drug test, and the background check. So if you pass those it's no longer an offer of employment, it's already accepted, for an erratic, unknown, part time position. It's committing to something unknown and unknowable. So if you decline at that point, you've quit a job you never worked at. And there are no actual people to talk to about the position, scheduling, future benefits, permanent employment. I understand they put no time in it because time is money and there is no HR. But what presentation to the working public!
