As long as an employer has a legal reason to fire you, in most cases, you can be fired. With at will employment, this means your job can be terminated after one week, one day, or even before you go in for that first day.

Terminated employees have rights to final pay, accrued benefits (like vacation), continued health insurance (COBRA), and potential unemployment, especially if fired without cause, but these vary by state; they are also protected from discrimination (race, sex, age, disability, etc.) and have rights to their personnel files, with legal avenues available via the EEOC for wrongful termination claims.
