The interview process involved one phone call, followed by an in-person meeting, and included some personality surveys. It was a fairly easy interview, and the recruiter made it simple. Just be yourself, and be willing to have a mixed schedule week by week. This thing wants 30 words, hopefully that's enough.

The hiring manager was upfront that the Des Plaines location isn't ideal for career advancement, despite what the job posting suggested. He also mentioned they don't typically hire Operations Managers with a 3PL background, which seemed like he hadn't fully reviewed my resume. I'm grateful for his honesty, as I was seeking growth opportunities. Knowing this upfront would have saved me time by not applying.

Behavioral Technical
There were two managers for an in-person interview, and then a Skype call with the regional manager who was way nicer. The first interview felt really cold and impersonal, with a lot of uncomfortable quiet moments. Don't be afraid to let your personality show, even though the managers seem super serious. Talk about your family, since it's a family-oriented company, but also make sure they know you're willing to relocate because there are many different terminals. You're never guaranteed to stay at one specific location.
Confirmed questions5 questions
- Can you provide an example of a challenging situation you encountered?
- Describe a time when you had to demonstrate strong family connections.
- Are you willing to relocate to different terminals?
