It was three interviews total. The first one was short with basic questions, and they quickly explained the company and their expectations. I was then invited to a second interview, which involved a job shadow. I wasn't sure what to expect, but the person I shadowed was great and showed me the ropes of direct marketing. It was effective; the person I was with helped a few people that day. It wasn't the most glamorous job to start, but they seemed serious about opportunities for growth, which is what I wanted. The person I shadowed shared what they've learned so far and seemed really enthusiastic, which was a good sign. After spending the day with them, I had a third interview with a manager. It seemed to go well, and I got the job. We'll see how it goes, you have to start somewhere!

Behavioral Technical

I would recommend avoiding this company. I applied for what they advertised as a Customer Service role, and got called back in 3 hours, which seemed a bit fast. But, their Glassdoor reviews were great (though I suspect they might be fake now) and their website seemed professional. I set up an interview for the next day. When I arrived, there were 4 other candidates waiting, which made me think they have a high turnover rate. They informed me during the interview that the role was actually for entry-level sales, not Customer Service as posted. They mentioned a 3-round interview process, with the second round involving a 6-hour field shadowing with a sales rep. At this point, I realized the job was door-to-door sales. They were vague about job specifics initially, saying I'd know more if I advanced. I pushed for details, and they eventually confirmed it was a door-to-door sales position. Unless you're specifically looking for that type of work, I'd advise against applying. It felt like a waste of my time that could have gone towards better job opportunities.

Behavioral Presentation

I had a sit down with one of the directors, Derek I believe the first day and was asked a few questions to figure out if I would make the cut. The next day they had me come into their main office for like an hour or two that I spent with an account manager who broke down the inside of their business in more detail.
