I was in my previous job for 15 years, I had reached a point where I was unable to progress any further, financial or status, additionally I should add my work did carry risks to my safety as I would deal with aggressive people in a security manner.
However the pros were my work rota was flexible and I got on with the fellow staff.
I left amicably and started a new job in a higher paying role, I'm still currently in the training part, however the store I'm training in, I'm being spoken to like dirt from so called colleagues, and even only a week in, I am being moaned at with my speed, and I have been directly told that I'm expected to be working at the same speed as they are (they have years of experience I have 1 week)
I am so tempted to contact my old work to see if I can come back.
I need some advice

Old work pros
Friendly atmosphere
Flexible shifts
Supportive management

Old work cons
Less money
No progression
Increased risk to safety
Gonna be embarrassed to come back after short time

New work pros
More money
Been told theres progress available
Less risk to safety

New work cons
Unfriendly atmosphere
Unfavorable shift patterns
Less flexible with working days
Unreasonable expectations

I'd give it more than a week, but if you feel the same after a couple of months, rethink.

I agree with giving it more than a week.

And also,
Option C, look for a new job in a new place

Why would you go back? It is not the only other job in the world. Give this new job longer and if it doesn’t work out find another new one.

Oh that doesn't sound good. Can you start sending out applications for job 3.
