I have never met a bigger (word I can’t say on glassdoor) hole in my professional life than the one interviewing me for this role. I usually get along with everyone, but this guy was a real (word that I can’t say on glassdoor). I hope to warn others about this toxic company. I should have walked out. He was incredibly demeaning and insulting... I guess he was venting his inner frustrations about being a middle-aged guy that shreds paper for a living?

The interview process was all over the place and not what I was told it would be, and also different from how others did it. It felt like I was bounced around from person to person and did things out of order. Honestly, the whole place was a mess.

Applied online and got a call for a quick phone chat. Then went in person for a one-on-one at their office. After that, had another phone interview. Haven't heard back yet about what's next, but thought it went pretty well for this sales gig.
