Generally speaking the work ethic is the best it's ever going to be when someone first starts, if it's already bad they are just going to get worse. I agree 100% with what was said above, work ethic is so much more important than skill. I'd rather train someone who maybe doesn't know as much but is keen to learn and willing to work hard than hire some prick who knows his job but is a slacker.
The problem with slackers is slacking tends to breed slacking. You hire one, someone else already there or just starts with the company sees the bar down there and that's all they think they need to achieve to maintain status quo.
It sounds to me like you have a slacker with no proven track record who doesn't know their job, best of all worlds and by best I mean worst.
