Bad Interview

The initial interview was conducted over the phone, followed by two in person interviews, a ride along, and then a final in person. The one thing I liked was how much they stressed that they really wanted you to understand what you were committing to if you decide to join. The flip side of the coin with allowing potential candidates to do ride alongs, as well as speak with current employees is that the candidate gets a chance to see through many of the sales pitches to get you to join. They're pretty clear that this isn't just a full time job (full time hours)...you're expected to put in well over 10-14 hours per day, with no remote work possible. The things that forced me to decline the offer were the insane amount of hours, the lack of ability to do any of this work remotely, the low pay and compensation package, a monthly mileage stipend that wouldn't cover the fuel and wear and tear on your vehicle, forced to wear suits and ties every single day, and the constant revolving door of salespeople. Many of these things are carryovers from the 80's and 90's. While I agree that wearing suits and ties looks nice, in today's corporate world, this custom has been fading. I think the company has some really great offerings, and the above are just some of my reasons why I couldn't accept the offer. Their methodology seems to work for them, for now, but it's how you burn people out of sales. I liked everyone I met and wish them nothing but the best.
