LEI Home Enhancements Marketing Interview Questions
& Process

I got a call from a recruiter at LEI who found my resume online. We chatted about my background and the company, and then I went to their office in West Chester for an interview. The interviewer was nice and gave me a lot of info about the job, the company, and growth paths. It was a bit weird when a new hire just walked in and sat behind me during the interview, but we continued. At the end, I asked about salary, and she said it was 30k base plus commission. Even though it was less than my old job, I was still interested. A few days later, I got a short offer email asking about a start date. I replied asking for more details on salary and benefits because the offer letter wasn't very clear. She called back, confirming the 30k base and mentioning that people in my role average $300-$350 per week as base pay, which didn't seem right. I emailed back to clarify the math because the numbers didn't add up, and also asked if the start date could be moved. Her response confused me more, explaining a 'base plus commissions' structure and that training, including orientation on pay, started on my offered date, and couldn't be postponed. It seemed like they had a strange way of defining base salary, and the whole experience felt unprofessional with lots of red flags.

I got a call and then we scheduled a time that worked for us. I went in for the interview, and it lasted about 25 minutes. We talked about different roles available at LEI. The interviewer explained the marketing representative position to make sure I understood it. We also discussed pay and healthcare reimbursements.

I met with the HR director who was really picky and enthusiastic about the candidates. The best way to get hired, I figured, was to talk about my sales and marketing background. I really enjoyed the interview process and the office felt super friendly and happy.
