I spoke with several people in the company ranging from HR, management positions and customer/carrier reps. The staff was very welcoming and made the process comfortable and relaxing. They barely looked at my resume and wanted to get to know me rather than see me on a piece of paper.
I originally applied for a customer operations position. I got an email saying to schedule some time for a phone interview to discuss “open positions”. Phone interview went over my background and the company. Interviewer expressed that it would be a ton of cold calling and I’m thinking to myself that this is not the position I applied for. She stated that the two positions were carrier sales and customer sales. I know for a fact I did not apply to either one. In the end they decided to not move forward however I wouldn’t have moved forward anyways considering they were interviewing me for a position I had not even applied to! I didn’t sign up for cold calling. This place needs to get their act together. The fact that it’s a privately owned company is probably where everything goes wrong. Whoever is in management should be fired. Seems as if the company is terribly ran.
I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at American Transport Group (Chicago, IL) in Sept 2015
Interview
E-mailed, Phone Call, and one on one interview including job shadowing, pretty easy interview process, just have to be yourself and show you can have a conversation and that you are truly interested in working for the logistics industry and ready to start the grind. But interview process was overall easy and relaxed.
