Technical Behavioral
I had a phone and then an in-person interview, but after that, they just ghosted me. It would have been nice to get a simple email, even just to say 'unfortunately we decided to go with someone else.' It's bad practice to have someone come onsite and then not give any feedback or let them know they didn't get the job.

The interview was in person and lasted about 30-45 minutes. I interviewed with the manager and team lead. We also took a tour of the office and met some leadership. If they decided to move forward, a background check would be done and it usually takes about two weeks. They asked questions about my past experience and how it relates to customer service.
Confirmed questions1 question

They sometimes use a staffing agency, and occasionally advertise driver openings in the newspaper. It's a good gig for this line of work, with capped hours and a production bonus, and no over-the-road hauling. They're open to hiring folks with criminal records, so just be upfront about it on the application if that's you. You'll interview with the transportation department, whether you're applying for management or a driver role. Be prepared for a confrontational interview; it's just how they do things here.

The interview process was pretty straightforward. First, I had an interview with the hiring manager. After that, I interviewed with the Human Resources manager, who then offered me the job. They didn't give a timeline for when they'd make a decision. It wasn't really clear what they were looking for in terms of qualities.
