      Branch Manager Interview

      4 Dec 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Itasca, IL
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Ground Pros (Itasca, IL) in Nov 2018

      Interview

      Interview process was a total mess with no structure. Owner emailed me and asked for a phone interview with me. On the phone interview, owner asked pointless questions and said he wanted an in person interview with me and asked me to fill out an online personality assessment. We scheduled the in person interview which was held at another location other than their office. In person interview was rough. Owner (who conducted the interview) showed up late, then asked me the same questions he asked on the phone a few days prior. Owner said he would prefer that I had more experience and a masters degree but would look past it for now. I asked about the interview process and was informed there would be another in person interview with the owner and a manager, then a phone interview with the owner, manager and business consultant, THEN an in person interview with the owner, manager, and business consultant, AND THEN a final interview and potentially an offer. At the next in person interview with the owner and manager (who both arrived late again), we met at a restaurant and chatted in the bar area (very unprofessional setting) where the manager spent the majority of the time watching the tvs and not listening to my answers. Owner asked me to send them a branch management plan for them to review which I provided a few days later. Owner emailed me asking if I would be able to meet in person at their office for another interview and only then did they bring up a request for my resume. I sent them my resume, and asked for the address of their office since it could not be found anywhere online. Owner did not respond to email. I called to confirm the interview and ask for the address and the person who answered the phone didn't know about my interview but said they would get back to me. Less than a day before my interview, owner finally responds with address and confirming interview. Arrived at interview and door was locked. I called the number and they attempted to open the door for me. Then asked me to stand outside until they knew where I should be until the owner wanted to interview me. Once they knew, they had me wait in a spare office and fill out another personality assessment which was poorly made and had little to nothing to do with qualifications. When I went in for the interview, the business consultant had no idea of my background and asked very rude and offensive questions and made comments that were out of line and unprofessional. Owner again asked same questions from initial phone interview and did not control the interview at all. Business consultant ran the interview and was quite abrasive. The manager who was in the room asked no questions and didn't say much of anything. The questioning was angled to get me to answer in ways that were uncomfortable and inaccurate. At the end of the interview, the owner and business consultant laughed and said the position I was called in for was no longer "on the table" and they might consider me for another position. Owner asked as a final question if I would "respect them as a boss" which felt very out of line and uncalled for.
