I don't know if everywhere is the same, but here the unemployment office keeps a record of businesses that fire a lot of people. It definitely weighs in when applying. If they see a company with a long string of people applying they're a lot more likely to approve them.

edit: I believe they refer to them as hostile employers.

I think they also generally pay higher unemployment premiums if there are a lot of people filing from that company

She was warned by someone else of the high turnover rate, but proceeded ahead with the job because she thought "oh maybe they're just whining, etc etc".

That's fine as long as you have a plan for when you do get fired. Sometimes it's handy to learn new skills that can be used somewhere else for a better job. Secretly document your treatment, wait to get fired, claim unemployment with the documentation, then find a better job with those skills.
