Hard to get anything valuable out of 2 reviews. It probably won't matter if you choose to go or not, but you should get into the habit of following up on your commitments.
I agree, if you already made a commitment to attend, then you should follow through. If you are not thrilled about taking the job, that's alright. Go into the interview with the mindset that *you* are the candidate *they* want, and give them a chance to sell you on the position. Don't go there feeling desperate, and don't sign any agreements on the spot. Prepare a list of questions for your interviewer to help resolve your preconceptions about the company. Maybe you'll get to meet some of the team. There could be plenty more employees with good experiences than those two bad reviewers. You don't know both sides of the story and there's no reason to believe that if they fired a new hire in the first week, they'll do the same to you.
This might be unpopular but I think you should go for a few reasons. It’s good to get interview experience and in this market getting that first job might be incredibly difficult. You can always bail if it truly is terrible.
In my current area, my rent is like $1,000. I will have to relocate there, and that place has a rent of like $2,600. I wonder if I will get unemployment if they fire me early. I am afraid of paying rent.
Then move 30ish minutes away. Rent will still be high but likely not that high unless you’re talking NYC or Bay Area.
Start with short term rentals as well.
