It was pretty simple. In and out. They seemed more worried about filling quota. It was a phone call interview only. I applied, got screened by phone, and was later offered the position after they originally said I would have an in person interview.

I applied, and then an HR person reached out to me for an interview. I went in to meet with the local branch managers. It felt like it went really well, with one of the managers complimenting my resume. However, I never ended up getting an offer for that role or any other position.

After a typical back and forth, I was quickly rejected. The reason given was a lack of passion for sales and business development. This was unexpected as I didn't think that was the main focus of the operations management role I applied for. It left a bad impression because I feel that's not accurate, and I actually managed a large sales territory for 5 years and enjoy sales. I thought they might consider me for nearby sales roles, but it seemed short-sighted to dismiss someone who could be an asset now or in the future, potentially even a competitor. I'm now less inclined to apply for other positions with them.

The process was painful and incompetent. I didn't make it past the recruiter who was in Orlando. I told her to call me at any time except time A, but she called me at time A. She then immediately said I wouldn't be a good fit because I'm not a climber. This is not a climbing position; it's about managing climbers. I manage climbers now. Just incompetent. I'm giving a neutral rating because the actual company might be okay.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Even though climbing isn't mentioned in the job description, do you climb?
