It was a 15-day process, involving a virtual interview, a warehouse walkthrough, and then a background check. It's quite lengthy, so be dedicated and prepared for that. If you have pretty much anything negative on your background check, just be aware that a "pre-adverse action" letter may be coming at the 2 to 2 1/2 week point. It really sucks to invest that much time/effort/energy in applying, just to have a background issue sink the whole thing.

It took about two weeks after applying for someone to get in touch. I got an email for a digital interview on HireVue. This interview had 5 written or multiple choice questions and 3 video questions where I had to answer "what would you do in this situation" type questions. Then, a recruiter contacted me to discuss my shift preference from their given options and if I wanted to do a group tour. They told me to be active and ask questions during the tour. The same day, a recruiter called to offer me the job.

The interview was conducted over the phone and was quite quick and straightforward. They asked basic questions about my past jobs and why I left them. The only downside is the disorganized communication within the warehouse, which is evident. It took me a while to figure out if my position was seasonal, and someone else eventually told me it was. I'm still unsure if I'm seasonal or not, and I know I didn't apply for a seasonal role. Additionally, there's no drug test required for the packer position in the warehouse.
